Urine Analysis: The Key to Unlocking Your Health Potential

Urine analysis is a simple and non-invasive test that can reveal important information about your health. It can detect and measure various biomarkers in your urine that can indicate your body’s balance, hydration, nutrition, hormones, and more. It can also help diagnose and monitor various health conditions, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and liver disease.

However, most people don’t get to benefit from the wealth of health information that urine analysis can provide. That’s because urine analysis is usually done only once a year at the doctor’s office, or even less frequently. And even when you do get a urine test, you might not get a comprehensive or personalized report of your results.

That’s why Withings, the leader in connected health devices, has developed U-Scan, the first hands-free connected home urine lab. U-Scan is a revolutionary device that can help you track and improve your health with regular and accurate urine analysis from the comfort of your own bathroom.

What is U-Scan and how does it work?

U-Scan is a small device that sits within any toilet bowl and provides an immediate snapshot of your health by detecting and analyzing multiple biomarkers in your urine. It uses a versatile cartridge-based platform that can measure different aspects of your health depending on your needs and goals. The first two cartridges that will be available are:

  • U-Scan Cycle Sync: This cartridge is designed for women who want to optimize their menstrual cycle. It tracks monthly hormonal fluctuations and provides recommendations based on cycle phases. It also analyzes key hydration and nutrition biomarkers to help you maintain a healthy cycle. Some of the biomarkers that U-Scan Cycle Sync measures are: estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), pH, specific gravity, ketones, glucose, protein, and blood.
  • U-Scan Nutri Balance: This cartridge is designed for everyone who wants to improve their nutrition and hydration. It evaluates the impact of nutrition and water intake on your metabolism and provides daily advice, recipes, and activities to help you find your balance. Some of the biomarkers that U-Scan Nutri Balance measures are: pH, specific gravity, ketones, glucose, protein, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocytes, creatinine, and calcium oxalate crystals.

U-Scan is not a medical device, but a wellness tool that can help you monitor your health and make positive changes in your lifestyle. It is also compatible with the Withings Health Mate app, where you can see your data history, trends, and insights.

U-Scan is coming soon to Europe in the second half of 2023 and will be launched in the United States following appropriate regulatory clearances. If you want to be the first to know when U-Scan is available, you can sign up for updates on the Withings website.

Why should you use U-Scan?

U-Scan can help you unlock the power of your pee and revolutionize your health with at-home urine analysis. Here are some of the benefits of using U-Scan:

  • You can get regular and accurate urine analysis without going to the doctor’s office or lab. You can save time, money, and hassle by testing your urine at home whenever you want.
  • You can get personalized and comprehensive reports of your urine analysis results. You can see what each biomarker means for your health and how it changes over time. You can also get tailored advice on how to improve your health based on your results.
  • You can track and improve specific aspects of your health with different cartridges. You can choose which cartridge suits your needs and goals best. For example, if you’re a woman who wants to optimize her menstrual cycle, you can use the U-Scan Cycle Sync cartridge. If you’re someone who wants to improve their nutrition and hydration, you can use the U-Scan Nutri Balance cartridge.
  • You can also switch between different cartridges as your needs and goals change over time.
  • You can integrate your urine analysis data with other health data from Withings devices. You can see how your urine analysis results correlate with other health metrics, such as weight, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep quality, and more. You can also get a holistic view of your health with the Withings Health Mate app.
