Serious diseases send signals long before symptoms appear. These are often intermittent and can be missed in one-off testing. A third of cancers are still first discovered in A&E. Heart disease is responsible for 1/6 deaths in the UK, yet if caught early, survival reaches 95%. 8 out of 10 people with pre-diabetes are not aware of it.

You can screen for markers of cancer, diabetes, heart and kidney disease in urine. When tracked regularly, these markers are much less likely to be missed. Early exists to close the gap between what is possible and what is happening.

Early Lab takes the functionality urinalysis machine and uses electrochemical sensor technology to bring that insight into your home. Miniaturised, beautiful, incredibly easy to use and capable of generating personalised results in under 5 minutes, it screens for biomarkers linked to serious disease, alongside everyday wellness markers such as hydration and metabolic health.

Designed to fit seamlessly into a morning routine, Early builds a personalised health record, so you learn what's typical for your body and spot meaningful changes sooner.

What Early tests for

Glucose

Early is developed to screen for urinary glucose signals that may indicate abnormal glucose handling, a possible early signal of diabetes.

Haemoglobin (blood) in urine

Early screens for haemoglobin (derived from blood) in urine, which can be an early signal of serious diseases including bladder and urinary tract cancers, kidney disease, and other conditions affecting the kidneys and urinary tract, and is often not visible to the naked eye, even at clinically meaningful levels.

Sodium, potassium and Na/K balance

Early monitors your sodium-potassium balance, a dietary marker. An increased ratio is a cause of high blood pressure which is linked to heart disease and stroke risk, so you can see how your diet is shaping your long-term cardiovascular health.

pH reflects your urinary environment and responds to diet, hydration, and exercise. Dehydrated, fasting, or eating a high-protein diet? It shows up in your urine, and Early tracks it.

Not just disease screening

Early isn't just disease screening. Every test feeds your weekly Early Resilience Levels, blending biomarkers with sleep, activity, and hydration to reveal how daily habits shape your body from the inside. Internal health tracking, made effortless.
