A new smartphone app that can help women check if they have a urinary tract infection, without having to see a doctor, could save the NHS millions of pounds.
UTI Home Test
Women are to be offered a Dip UTI test – the standard dipstick urine test used by GPs – with a smartphone app that can accurately scan the sample by following the instructions given by a virtual nurse. Once the dipstick has been dipped into the urine, it is then placed on a colour board which is used as a reference point by the smartphone camera to detect any colour changes that might indicate a bacterial infection.
