# At-Home Urine Analysis Tests This Urine Test Updates the Traditional Design to be More Foolproof By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urine-test References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/stanford-urine-test-home/43357/) & [news.stanford.edu](https://news.stanford.edu/2016/05/16/stanford-engineers-design-home-urine-test-scan-diseases/) Developed by researchers at Stanford University, this urine test incorporates the current design model that's used by doctors around the world and updates it for at-home use. The testing kit would come in a flatpack design and be built to be assembled easily by users to quickly make testing urine for possible issues far easier. The test incorporates a smartphone into the experience and is claimed to offer results that could be equal to those obtained in a doctor's office with a similar dipstick test. The urine test sees the box assembled, dipstick loaded and smartphone placed overtop. Urine is added and exposed to the test, which in turn can be interpreted by the smartphone to do away with guesswork. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **At-home Urine Analysis:** Developing user-friendly at-home urine analysis kits for quick and convenient health monitoring. - **Smartphone-integrated Healthcare:** Incorporating smartphone technology into healthcare devices for accurate and accessible diagnostics. - **Simplified Diagnostic Testing:** Streamlining the process of diagnostic testing with easy-to-use and foolproof testing kits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare Technology:** Opportunity to create innovative healthcare devices that leverage smartphone integration for diagnostics. - **Tech Manufacturing:** Manufacturing opportunities for producing flatpack designs and user-friendly assembly kits for home testing. - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating smartphone connectivity into consumer electronics to enable convenient and accurate health monitoring. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Urine Analysis Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-uscan-nutrio.md) - [Health-Tracking At-Home Urine Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-urine-test.md) - [Non-Invasive Urine Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-scan.md) - [Comprehensive Urinary Health Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stix-uti-test-and-treat.md) - [Pebble-Shaped Urine Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uscan.md) - [Toilet Tablet Health Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urify1.md) - [At-Home UTI Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-uti-test.md) - [Disease Detection Toilet Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urify.md) - [Intuitive At-Home Medical Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dengue-home-test-kit.md)
