Scanadu

Scanadu was a Silicon Valley–based company developing next generation tests, devices and services ostensibly to allow users to better monitor their own health. It was founded in February 2011 by Walter De Brouwer and Misha Chellam in Silicon Valley. In mid 2011, Scanadu set up a lab at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, to help grow the company. It relocated to Sunnyvale, California, in September 2016.

A prototype of Scanadu's first product, the Scanadu Scout, was unveiled on November 29, 2012. The Scanadu Scout was a portable electronic device for consumer use designed to measure different physiological parameters, including temperature, heart rate, blood oxygenation, respiratory rate, ECG, and diastolic/systolic blood pressure. Scanadu's goal was to make the Scanadu Scout available by March 2014 as an investigational device to those who participated in the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign and agreed to participate in a research study, and afterwards, to general consumers by Q1 of 2015. Scanadu was seeking approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the device before bringing it to market to ensure clinical-grade accuracy. Scanadu missed the initial shipping deadline; the devices finally began shipping in February 2015. In April 2016, Scanadu stated that the clinical trial with over 4,000 participants was ongoing, however in December 2016 they sent a message to the study subjects stating that the initial device had supported extensive data collection; and the Scout investigational device would only be supported until the end of the study, after which it would cease to function. However as of October 2020 the devices still function.

It subsequently relaunched as inui Health, claiming "FDA clearance for its smartphone-enabled home urine testing platform." In June 2020 inui Health was acquired by the Israeli healthcare startup Healthy.io.
