BioStream is developing a non-invasive urine-based platform to support differential diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
The platform combines point-of-care urine collection, deep proteomic analysis, and AI-supported interpretation. The goal is to provide clinicians with an objective result without relying solely on invasive confirmation procedures.
BioStream’s technology is currently undergoing clinical validation through active studies and an expanding proteomic dataset.

Clinical Need
Up to 10% of the 5.2 million people in the U.S. diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease may have underlying, treatable NPH.
Validation Highlights
Preliminary results in the current dataset show 86% accuracy in separating iNPH from dementia samples.
Ongoing Multi-Center Study
The ongoing study includes 100+ hydrocephalus samples and 50 dementia control samples.
Clinical Studies
The current clinical program includes studies with Rambam, Beilinson, and the Medical University of Rostock.
Intellectual Property
The company currently has two patent applications pending. The company also protects its sample handling methods, clinical dataset, and machine-learning work as trade secrets.
Commercial Path
BioStream is evaluating a staged commercial pathway: a planned CLIA-certified laboratory-developed test, followed by an FDA pathway.
Partner with BioStream
BioStream welcomes clinical and research partners working to improve non-invasive NPH diagnosis and monitoring.
