Healthy.io is the global leader in turning the smartphone camera into a clinical-grade medical device for an at-home urinalysis and digital wound management. 

 

Their at-home kidney test, Minuteful Kidney, aids in the early detection of chronic kidney disease and helps close gaps in access and care for over 500,000 patients worldwide. It is the first and only smartphone-powered home kidney test to receive FDA clearance and the first digital health test to obtain FDA clearance across all smartphone devices. 

 

Healthy IO is partnered with some of the nation's leading health plans and the National Health Service in the United Kingdom b/c of the test’s ease of use, high completion rates, and huge potential savings.

 

They are the first company to convert your smartphone into a clinical-grade medical device to allow patients to take the test – and receive results – in the comfort of their homes.
