VeloxDX is developing a rapid diagnostic platform designed to detect urinary biomarkers associated with the most common UTI-causing bacteria.

Designed for use alongside clinical judgment and existing standards of care.

Modern clinic setting
VeloxDX device concept
Patient consultation with physician

From current limitations to clinical confidence

Today's UTI diagnostic pathway forces clinicians to choose between speed and accuracy. VeloxDX changes the equation.

Today
24 to 72 hour wait for culture results

Results obtained during patient visit

Rapid biomarker detection is designed to support more targeted treatment decisions during the visit, rather than days later.

Faster path to therapy →
Today
💊 Empiric prescribing often begins before culture results

Support more targeted prescribing

Earlier pathogen-associated information may help reduce unnecessary empiric antibiotic use and support antimicrobial stewardship goals.

Supports the AMR strategy →
Today
🔬 Labs process every sent sample

Potentially reduce lab burden

In selected workflows, near-patient rule-in testing could reduce unnecessary culture volume and improve resource allocation.

Fewer unnecessary cultures →

A problem too common to leave unsolved

Cultures take days. Treatment can't wait. That gap is where antimicrobial resistance is built.

400M+
UTI cases annually worldwide
A significant burden on healthcare systems
Up to 60%
of women experience UTIs in their lifetime
~1 in 4 women with a UTI will experience recurrence
1 in 4
patients require antibiotic adjustment after culture results
Empiric therapy mismatch is common

Statistics are illustrative and based on published literature. Actual figures may vary by region and population.

A biomarker-first approach to rapid UTI detection

VeloxDX is built around agmatine, a urinary biomarker associated with Enterobacterales infections, the group responsible for most bacterial UTIs.

Unlike dipsticks that infer infection indirectly, our approach is designed to detect pathogen-associated chemistry directly in urine.

The platform combines this biomarker strategy with electrochemical sensing in a disposable test format intended for near-patient use.

Our goal is to bring faster, more specific rule-in information to clinics, pharmacies, and primary care settings without requiring centralized lab infrastructure.

Built on exclusive rights to patented technology

Deliver results in under 60 seconds at the point of care
Support earlier rule-in decisions for common UTI-causing bacteria
Reduce dependence on routine culture in selected positive cases
Help clinicians move from empiric treatment toward more targeted decisions
Integrate into existing workflows without lab infrastructure

Pre-clinical validation, peer-reviewed science

VeloxDX is committed to scientific rigor, clinical relevance, and regulatory transparency. We share our progress with the research community as we advance.

Published in Nature Communications

Chan, Gregson, Wildman et al. (2025) reported agmatine as a predictive urinary metabolite for culture-positive UTI specimens, with validation across blinded patient cohorts.
