Abstract
A device, method and system are provided for analyzing urine color to determine the hydration level of an individual. The device is nonabsorbent and includes a water-resistant adhesive configured to adhere the device to a urine receptacle such as a urinal or toilet. The device includes a color scale possessing a plurality of shades of yellow arranged from lightest to darkest. Each shade of yellow corresponds to a hydration level. The device allows the individual to assess their hydration level while simultaneously urinating into the urine receptacle.
Claims20
A nonabsorbent urine analysis device to be adhered to a urine receptacle for determining a hydration level based on urine color, the nonabsorbent urine analysis device comprising:
- a base possessing a front side and a back side;
- a color scale applied to the front side of the base, the color scale including at least a plurality of shades of yellow, each of the shades of yellow corresponding to a hydration level based on urine color;
- and
- a water-resistant adhesive applied to the back side of the base, the water-resistant adhesive being configured to adhere the base to the urine receptacle, wherein the urine analysis device is nonabsorbent.
A method for determining a hydration level based on urine color comprising:
- applying a stream of urine to a water-resistant color scale adhered to a urine receptacle so that the urine flows over the water-resistant color scale;
- visually comparing the urine color to a plurality of colors included on the water-resistant color scale while the urine flows over the water-resistant color scale;
- identifying a color included on the water-resistant color scale which most closely matches the urine color;
- and
- determining the hydration level by referencing a hydration level indicator corresponding to the identified color.
A urine analysis system comprising:
- a urinal including a urine reception surface;
- a first color scale adhered to the urine reception surface by a water-resistant adhesive, the first color scale being water-resistant and including a plurality of shades of yellow;
- a second color scale positioned exteriorly of the urinal and including a plurality of shades of yellow arranged from lightest to darkest;
- and
- the second color scale including a plurality of hydration level indicators positioned adjacent to and/or overlapping at least one of the shades of yellow on the second color scale.
