Arundhati Healthcare

Platform for clean urine-based diagnostics across genders, ages, and care settings

About

Arundhati Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. is building body-aligned urine collection systems to improve the accuracy of urine-based diagnosis. Its flagship product, Clevercup, is the world's first automatic urine collection device that separates the urine stream into first, mid, and late in a single use without user intervention. This ensures diagnostic accuracy in STIs and UTIs. The company is also developing a modular platform with pediatric and geriatric adapters, as well as point-of-care testing (POCT)-compatible formats for at-home screening and low-mobility patients. Arundhati Healthcare aims to enhance clinical decision-making, reduce repeat testing, and support antimicrobial stewardship globally by solving the foundational challenge of sample quality.
