Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in the world. Currently, gout patients have no way to monitor their disease regularly and non-invasively. Uric acid and creatinine are key biomarkers which reflect the state of the disease. This project aimed to develop a portable prototype device to detect uric acid and creatinine in the urine of gout patients as a proof-of-concept.
