I am currently working with three Brown University Biomedical Engineering seniors to develop an at-home UTI urinalysis analyzer, redesigned for self-care, longitudinal tracking, and decreased clinical visits.

  We have produced a needs statement, proof of concept, and a looks-like model; we will have a fully functioning prototype and a patent by May 2026, to be entered in the 2026 Medtronic/BMES Student Design Competition.

Our first-semester design merely outlines our desired device’s gestures, dimensions, storage, and features. Our discreet home-based device digitizes UTI dipsticks and transmits results to an EHR (e.g., MyChart), streamlining diagnostic workflows, reducing overtreatment, and enabling timely access to appropriate care.

This semester, we found the strip holder unnecessary, and that the camera needs to face down onto the strip, not upwards like a scanner. The new device body simplifies analysis by allowing a dipstick to be easily inserted into the slot, positioned for the most accurate colorimetric reading. Final model and renderings coming soon.
