Siemens Healthineers has announced a partnership with Healthy.io to offer a home-based form of testing for kidney disease. The agreement will see Siemens integrate its urinalysis reagents into Healthy.io's existing smartphone-based urinalysis service, allowing patients to conduct their own tests at home rather than requiring them to travel to a clinician's office. In the future, users can also use the service to check whether they have any other conditions that could be causing problems in their kidneys.
