Urine carries chemical fingerprints of hydration, kidney function and metabolism that shift day to day.

What it is and why it matters

Urine carries chemical fingerprints of hydration, kidney function and metabolism that shift day to day. Urinalysis is one of the oldest tests in medicine and still one of the most information-dense.

The signals that count

Colour and concentration track hydration in real time, long before thirst signals dehydration. A smart AI toilet observes hydration and concentration cues, colour on a calibrated spectrum and voiding frequency and volume trends — passively, every visit.

Turning data into decisions

Frequency turns a once-a-year snapshot into a continuous chemistry film. That is why LUXOSMT builds a personal baseline and surfaces deviations from it, with an explanation you can act on.
