Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Stream Dx: accurate and efficient, point-of-care uroflometry for improved diagnosis, monitoring, and post-treatment evaluation of LUTS
PROJECT NARRATIVE / PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is one of the most common medical problems among older men ? affecting 33% of men by the time they reach 50 years of age and 75% by the time they reach the age of 80. Uroflowmetry plays an important role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and post-treatment evaluation of men with LUTS as peak urinary flow rate is the single best measure to evaluate the probably of a patient being urodynamically obstructed. In order to bridge the gap between inexpensive devices that obtain limited flow data and expensive devices with the capabilities of clinic uroflowmeters, Stream Dx Inc. has developed a low-cost, clinically accurate electronic flowmeter for at-home use and proposes to improve the usability of this device by making the device handheld, developing patient and physician mobile apps, developing analytical tools, and integrating Stream Dx data into patient Electronic Health Records.
