Abstract: Numerous studies have explored the effectiveness of dipstick testing as a rapid diagnostic tool for various medical conditions, extending beyond just urinary tract disorders. It is noteworthy that changes in urine composition occur earlier in the presence of disease or bodily dysfunction compared to significant alterations in blood composition. Consequently, urinalysis holds significant value as a health or disease indicator and is routinely integrated into health screening protocols. The importance of early intervention cannot be overstated, as delaying necessary medical actions can adversely impact both morbidity and mortality rates. One of the central points of ongoing discussion pertains to the variability in dipstick accuracy attributed to human errors and the examination process itself. This inconsistency has raised questions and prompted further examination. The Neodocs-Test Card POCT experiment aims to address this issue by comparing the accuracy and precision of the device with that of a certified clinical-grade apparatus. This research seeks to provide valuable insights into the device's performance and its potential utility in clinical settings.
