Urine test system with nutritional recommendations

Abstract

System that makes nutritional recommendations based on results of a home urine test. A user may apply a urine sample to a card containing multiple tests, and capture an image of the card using a phone; an analysis system executing on the phone or in the cloud may analyze the image and determine test results. The test card and analysis system may compensate for variability in lighting conditions and time of exposure to the urine sample. Based on test results, the system may recommend consumption of specific quantities of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and foods. It may also recommend consumption of water or electrolytes based on measured hydration, and stress reduction techniques or sleep based on measured cortisol. Recommendations may be customized based on factors such as the user's characteristics (gender, weight, etc.), predicted absorption of nutrients from food or supplements, and the user's dietary preferences or restrictions.
