Make the Minuteful Difference
At the heart of quality care
An abnormal ACR test result could put members at a 3x risk of CVD events*, independent of other risk factors–even when eGFR is normal and can reveal valuable information about heart and kidney health.
Reducing costly complications
Early detection of albuminuria can lead to significant reduction in the total cost of care. Identifying undetected kidney disease helps avert complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and dialysis.
Enhancing member experience
Our user-friendly app guides members step-by-step. People across all ages found the test easy to complete.
Driving members back to care
The test offers members instant results, with clear explanations and guidance on next steps to help providers identify, diagnose and provide proper care
Reducing health inequities
Increase access to care for previously untested members. Give them the freedom to test when it's most convenient for them, from the comfort of their home.
Scaling member engagement
We take care of the whole process. We ship and deliver kits to eligible members and ensure they complete the test through a personalized member communication protocol.
