Uroflowmetry & biomarkers
What your bladder says when you listen closely.
Two procedures urologists have used for decades - for the first time in a home device. Here you learn what uroflowmetry and urine biomarkers mean, which terms matter and how Streamcheck captures everything automatically.
Procedure 1
Uroflowmetry: the language of urinary flow.
Uroflowmetry measures how fast, evenly and fully your bladder empties. Pain-free and non-invasive - you simply urinate as usual.
The result is a curve. It shows not just a number, but the entire course of a voiding - second by second.
Streamcheck captures the curve automatically and displays it in the app as a trend - no measuring cylinders, no notes, no paper slips at the urologist.
Understand uroflowmetry
How a flow curve can speak.
Select typical patterns and see how shape, peak, and duration change.
Bell-shaped, brisk rise, clean peak. Typical unremarkable pattern with good rise, clear maximum and smooth decline.
Terminology
Urologist language - translated.
Pick a term. We explain it so anyone understands.
Maximum flow rate
The peak value of your urine stream.
Qmax is the single most important uroflowmetry value. In healthy men under 40 it's usually above 25 ml/s. Values below 15 ml/s are considered notable and may indicate outflow obstruction - for example from prostate enlargement.
Example
Example: 28 ml/s
Streamcheck captures all of these values automatically with every measurement - no notes or calculations needed.
Procedure 2
Biomarkers: what your urine reveals.
A test strip with multiple reactive pads responds to substances in urine. Each pad changes color depending on the concentration of a specific marker.
Streamcheck photographs the strip automatically under standardized light and reads the colors optically. No subjective judgment, no comparing against the packaging.
Eight markers
What Streamcheck detects in urine.
Tap a marker to see its meaning.
Optical analysis runs under standardized lighting inside the device - more precise than the human eye could manage in a bathroom.
Why both
Mechanics meets chemistry.
Uroflowmetry and biomarkers are two independent windows into your urological health. Only combined do they create a complete picture.
Flow shows mechanics.
How your bladder and outflow path function - the geometry of emptying.
Biomarkers show chemistry.
What's dissolved in urine - inflammation, metabolism, possible disease signs.
Only together a picture emerges.
A slow flow with simultaneously elevated leukocytes tells a different story than either alone.
Real-world examples
When the values speak.
Finding
Qmax slowly drops - biomarkers normal.
Possible reading
Possible sign of starting prostate enlargement. A trend over weeks says more than any single measurement.
Finding
Leukocytes and nitrite positive, jagged flow.
Possible reading
Classic constellation of a urinary tract infection. Flow often reacts first - before burning sets in.
Finding
Blood in urine, all other values normal.
Possible reading
A single finding can be harmless - recurring microhematuria should be checked by a doctor.
Examples are illustrative and do not replace medical diagnosis. Notable findings should be evaluated by a urologist.
Fully automatic
You measure. Streamcheck does the rest.
Sensors capture the flow.
High-resolution sensors continuously measure volume and time - the app derives all values from this.
Optics read the strip.
A calibrated camera analyses the color reactions under standardized light - free from naked-eye judgment.
The app brings it together.
Values, curve, markers, trend - automatically documented and exportable for trend tracking or a doctor's appointment.
From values to trends
Streamcheck combines urine flow and biomarkers at home.
Every measurement becomes a structured data point - private, repeatable and prepared for your next doctor conversation.
Streamcheck system
Values usually only your urologist sees.
A certified medical device - engineered in Germany, bringing uroflowmetry and biomarker analysis into your home.
- Capture urine flow, volume and duration automatically.
- Analyze urine biomarkers optically and under standardized conditions.
- Document trends and share them in a structured way.
No subscription. No contract. No hassle.
