Using Minuteful Kidney
The Minuteful Kidney test app and kit allow people to test themselves at home for signs of CKD and receive immediate clinical results. Using colorimetric analysis, computer vision, and AI we transform the smartphone camera into a clinical-grade medical device. The app walks the user through a simple test, making it as easy as snapping a photo.
This new test has the potential to help millions of patients find out if they have CKD while there is still time to prevent progression to kidney failure.
