What is CalproSmart® Self-Test?
A smartphone-enabled test for reliable home monitoring of fecal calprotectin, supporting proactive IBD management.
Solution CalproSmart® Self-Test?
CalproSmart is an app-guided lateral flow self-test designed for remote monitoring of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease. It enables patients to test at home at set intervals defined by their healthcare provider or on demand, and to securely share quantitative fecal calprotectin results (77–1500 mg/kg) with their clinical team, supporting proactive flare detection and treatment decisions.
Effect CalproSmart® Self-Test?
Technology: Lateral flow immunoassay Mobile phone compatibility: All phones using iOS operating system version 15.0 or newer and phones using Android operating system version 7.0 or newer Guided process: Step-by-step in-app instructions Assay range: 77–1500 mg/kg Readout: Data transferred to cloud based back-end system. Exact value in range and semi-quantitative presentation Assay time: 20 minutes Regulatory status: CE/IVD
Benefits CalproSmart® Self-Test?
Research shows that calprotectin levels rise 3–6 months before clinical symptoms appear, which allows earlier detection of inflammation at a sub-clinical stage. This proactive approach helps support better daily management for patients and reduces pressure on clinics through more efficient follow up.
