The Medipee app forms the core of the entire platform system consisting of mobile application, backend and measuring instruments, which can be integrated as required.
It can basically be used as a singular application (autonomous) or in combination with Medipee measuring devices.
The app can be used to record and process a wide variety of information:
App-based diary to monitor drinking and eating behavior, uric frequency and quantity.
App is based on direct data evaluation and embedding in history history.
Storage and export possible.
Hands-Free, i.e. without personal contact with cups and urine.
Can be used on western-style toilets. For your own home, rented flats and when travelling.
Cartridge technology (similar to printers & ink) can be used to monitor a wide range of values. This means that the system can later be used very easily for operations other than originally planned.
A wide range of medications can be detected and monitored via The Medipee urine monitoring. For example, the dose can be optimized or the efficiency can be analyzed.
The idea was born out of a case of illness in the family of a founder. Surgery could have been completely avoided by regular urine testing. This led to initial reflections and research on how regular monitoring of health parameters and, above all, a sensible prevention method can be implemented. This is how the project idea Medipee for regular urine examination was born by a simple Plug n’ Play system directly at the toilet.
The Medipee app was developed for monitoring nutrition and fluid balance, for entering various urine parameters and for monitoring micturition. The basic system is an app, which can be coupled with a measuring device for more detailed evaluations if required.
Medical indications for which the Medipee app (partly in combination with the measuring device) can currently be used are:
Indication: Indicator:
Dehydration Spec. Density/ pH value
Urinary/kidney stones Spec.
Density/ pH value
The device is attached to the top of the home toilet similar to a scented stone. But in contrast, the main part of the device is located outside the toilet. As soon as the device detects urine flow, the automatic measurement takes place in a few seconds. In addition, with almost all forms of incontinence, keeping a micturition diary is recommended. Another possible area of application is the monitoring of the amount of drinking in case of heart failure or (chronic) kidney disease. Here, patients should always keep an eye on the amount of drinking agreed with their doctor and drink neither too little nor too much. The system can also help with problems with bladder emptying through its monitoring function.
Medipee is a startup in the field of medical technology that revolutionizes health care and brings it directly into your own home. Lots of important medical information such as Urine quantity, amount of drinking, frequency of urination, glucose, blood in the urine or nitrite (a degradation product of bacteria) can be read from the human urine. The device developed by Medipee makes this information available automatically, hygienically and simply.
The revolutionary thing is the simplicity and automation of the Medipee app. In contrast to conventional urine test strips from the pharmacy or urinalysis in the laboratory, the app-based measuring system from Medipee offers a possibility of fast, hygienic and digital urinalysis without manual intermediate steps.
Especially the unpleasant taking of the sample is a big obstacle for many people, which prevents them from a regular urinalysis. With the system, users can easily and barrier-free observe their own urine values.
From the user’s point of view, there is no restriction on the use of the Medipee app.
With regard to diseases, the monitoring of diagnosed or vulnerable people is certainly interesting, but it can also be used to check whether patients are correctly adjusted. In addition, the Medipee app can greatly simplify control in rural areas with poor medical care. The Medipee platform technology is intended to improve and facilitate personal health care.
The first type of device will be designed for the world’s most widely used toilet, the classic deep-rinse (or “Western Style Toilet”). This can be found in most houses, medical and public institutions, companies, etc. We estimate the potential area of application at 2.5 billion toilets worldwide.
A B2B (business customer) variant of the device, which can be used in medical practices, nursing homes and hospitals, is also planned. Here, everyday practice can be considerably simplified and automated. This avoids typical errors that can occur during manual urinalysis. Typical examples are reading errors,incorrect reaction times, incorrect patient assignment or the use of mid-beam urine.
Two international patents have already been granted, and further patents are in the filing or examination phase.
Medipee is a product of risk class I according to MDD.
The company has been certified in Q1/2020 according to the international standard EN ISO 13485. This is the standard for quality management systems in the medical device sector
