Some questions here: Is quantitative testing possible especially if you use a colour reference chart to compensate for lighting conditions? Do you have any measures to prevent the patient from scanning the dip stick too soon? What processes do you have in place to pick up red flags eg recurrent UTIs, pyelonephritis, urosepsis etc? What measures do you have in place to ensure appropriate antimicrobial prescribing? This includes managing patient expectations in the event of a positive test result. |

We feel strongly that quantitative testing is possible, and is something we're currently exploring.
As far as measures to prevent the patient from scanning too soon––the testing flow within the app includes a timer, during which the test would be processing. Only after the timer is finished does the camera open, enabling the user to scan.
In terms of addressing/identifying red flags like recurrent UTIs, advanced infections, etc.: after the user receives their test result from Scanwell, they have the option to receive treatment via telehealth from our partner (Lemonaid Health). Lemonaid collects additional patient info including symptoms, past infections, etc. In some cases (i.e. pregnancy, postmenopause, signs of an advanced infection) treatment via telehealth won't be possible, and the patient will be recommended to seek in-person treatment.
