Abstract:
Urinary incontinence poses a significant challenge among the elderly, severely impacting their quality of life. Recent clinical studies have underscored the importance of tailored continence care strategies, particularly those based on accurate urine volume measurements within the bladder. Despite this need, the development of a precise and continuous urine volume sensor remains an ongoing challenge in medical research. To address this, we are exploring bioimpedance measurement as a promising method for estimating urine volume. This technique assesses changes in bioimpedance within the bladder, which correlate with varying volumes of urine. The concept revolves around the principle that the bladder's electrical properties change as it fills or empties, allowing for indirect measurement of urine volume without invasive procedures. Advancements in bioelectrical impedance analysis are leading us to develop wearable devices specifically for this purpose. These devices integrate sophisticated hardware setups capable of generating precise sine wave signals, measuring impedance changes, and converting analog signals into digital data for analysis. Ultimately, we aim to integrate bioimpedance-based techniques into clinical practice, advancing non-invasive diagnostics and treatment strategies for urinary disorders. By providing real-time insights into bladder conditions, these innovations will improve patient care and overall quality of life for individuals affected by urinary incontinence and related conditions.
