    Dip.io

    Dip.io is a smartphone based urinalysis device. Built around the existing urine dipstick, a test kit and smartphone application, Dip.io enables home urine testing with no quality compromise. 

    “UCLPartners sees great potential in the digital application of point-of-care urinalysis and is working closely with Healthy.io to integrate this innovation into appropriate care pathways within the NHS.”
    Dr Charlie Davie, Managing Director, UCLPartners

    Summary:
    Healthy.io is the first company to turn the smartphone into a regulatory-approved clinical device. Its first product, Dip.io, uses computer vision and user centric design to turn the smartphone into a urinalysis device. Built around existing semi-quantitative urinalysis dipsticks, Dip.io complements established clinical efforts by empowering patients to test themselves at home with no quality compromise, and securely share results with a clinician.

    Challenge/problem identified:
    Smartphone urinalysis impacts a range of pathways:

    • Pre-natal: Dip.io is currently used for self-management in hypertensive pregnancies with one of Israel’s leading health maintenance organisations, and demonstrated strong favourability during a trial at John Hopkins.
    • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Home-based screening of albumin:creatinine (ACR) for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, to increase adherence to NICE CG 182 and diabetes care process beyond the current level of 50%.
    • Urinary tract infections (UTI): Enables self-testing for UTI to reduce unplanned admissions in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dip.io also reduces the need for GP visits in women aged 18-64 (e.g. through integration with NHS 111 and pharmacies).

    Impact:

    • CE approved and ISO 13485 certified
    • 95% usability rates in FDA clinical trials covering 500 patients across demographics
    • Johns Hopkins prenatal study demonstrated that less than 10% preferred testing at the clinic
    • Roll out of home ACR screening in collaboration with US National Kidney Foundation
