Introducing UrinDx - the game-changing early screening tool for your health!
With just a quick scan of your urine, UrinDx (ur-in-dex) 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 bacteria that produce a molecule called nitrites? Well, UrinDx is able to measure changes in the absorption characteristics of nitrites at various wavelengths of light 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 nitrites in your urine, 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 nitrite levels, which can be used in the aid of screening for a urinary tract infection (UTI). Plus, your score will continue to improve in accuracy the more you use UrinDx. During the first week, try to use UrinDx multiple times a day so your score is more representative of your health.
It's important to note that while UrinDx 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: Good, Low Risk, and High Risk.
The Good zone indicates that your nitrite levels are likely low and stable.
The Low Risk zone serves as an early warning sign that your nitrite levels could be increasing. At this stage we recommend you speak with your Starling nurse for recommendations on potential lifestyle changes that could be used to lower your risk of a UTI.
The High Risk zone indicates your nitrite levels are likely much higher than your established baseline. A telehealth appointment with a Starling nurse will be scheduled directly through the Starling Medical app to confirm any symptoms and to connect you with downstream clinical care.
The UrinDx score will be personalized after several days of samples have been submitted.
In summary, UrinDx 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 disease.
