Baladeau is building reliable and easy-to-use hydration level tests, for health care providers and at-home users, to assess the body’s hydration status in real time and improve health and wellness.
Current Status
The hydration assessment tests are disclosed in a provisional patent application registered at the USPTO. We are currently selecting hydration marker candidates through research of scientific and medical literature.
Problem or Opportunity
A majority of people are chronically under-hydrated. This is a huge problem, because chronic under-hydration increases the risks of developing chronic diseases (e.g., dementia, diabetes, heart failure, stroke) and dying at a younger age.
Solution (product or service)
We are building a novel affordable, reliable and easy-to-use hydration level test to assess the body’s hydration status in real time. The new hydration assessment tests will aid understanding and prevent dehydration, thus contributing to improving health and wellness.
Business model
Our business model integrates both B2C and B2B strategies, for at-home users and health care providers, respectively. The B2C segment will include both online and retail sales of a qualitative hydration level test, while the B2B segment will provide, in addition to a qualitative test, quantitative tests through direct sales or partnerships.
