Designed for direct-to-patient, the CarePath device features embedded cellular connectivity, ensuring accurate data transmission.

This technology facilitates reliable diagnostics and enhances patient education and engagement in managing LUTS issues.  

With the device, 91% of patients revisited the clinic to discuss the CarePath Uroflow report with their provider and explore the possibility of surgical intervention.

I-O Urology’s CarePath platform was made available for clinical use in 2021.

Laborie urology vice-president and general manager Tim Panciera said: “At Laborie, we strongly believe in the value of patient education as a pathway to support the restoration of patient dignity.

“The team at I-O Urology developed a state-of-the-art device with a dynamic patient ecosystem that empowers patient engagement as a superior standard of care. Our missions are closely aligned, making this a natural investment to continue accelerating Laborie’s position and expertise in the advanced diagnostics market.”
