Introducing UrinDx-Lite: the game-changing early screening tool for your health!

With just a quick scan of your urine, UrinDx-Lite (ur-in-dex)Β uses spectrophotometry to track changes in the composition of your urine, identifying patterns of specific molecules and groups of molecules that may indicate signs of pathology.


Take urinary tract infections (UTIs), for example. Did you know that some UTIs are caused by a build up of bacteria? Well, UrinDx measures changes in the turbidity of your urine as urine flows through the device. Starling Medical's app then compiles changes in these absorption characteristics and others over time into a holistic score called the UrinDx Score. This score is indicative of changes in turbidity levels, giving you a snapshot of your urinary health.

With the accompanying Starling Medical app, you can easily monitor your UrinDx Score and receive alerts if your urine shows characteristics of elevated turbidity levels, which can be used in the aid of screening for a urinary disorders. Plus, your score will continue to improve in accuracy the more you use UrinDx-Lite. During the first week, try to use UrinDx-Lite multiple times a day so your score is more representative of your health.
​

It's important to note that while UrinDx-Lite can help identify early warning signs, it is not a replacement for your healthcare provider. But, with UrinDx, you'll be one step closer to taking control of your urinary health!
​

So, what does your UrinDx Score mean?
​

The score is divided into three zones: Clear, Elevated, and Needs Attention.

  • The Clear result indicates that your urine is clear and your urinary health
    is likely stable.

  • The Elevated result serves as an early warning sign that your urine is becoming cloudy and could indicate decreasing urinary health if it persists. At this stage, we recommend you speak with your care coordinator for recommendations on preventative care that could lower your risk.

  • TheΒ Needs Attention zone indicates your urine is turbid and may indicate risk for a urinary disorder. A care coordinator will contact you to confirm any symptoms and to connect you with downstream clinical care if needed.

In summary, UrinDx-Lite is an easy-to-use and consumer-friendly medical device that empowers you to monitor changes in your urine composition and detect any potential signs of urinary disorder
