New Article “Wireless and Catheter-Free Bladder Pressure and Volume Sensor”

Post author By steve.majerus
Post date May 2, 2023

Congratulations to everyone involved with this significant work! We think this is the first device to measure pressure and volume in the bladder, without catheters. This technology enables at-home diagnosis of urinary incontinence, advanced treatments like conditional neuromodulation, and sensory restoration of bladder fullness.

Congrats to the team for a Best Paper award from the IEEE SPMB conference!!

This approach may cut the number of catheters needed for urodynamics in half. Half the waste, less patient discomfort, and fewer recording artifacts. We will be expanding on this topic in an upcoming book chapter in 2023.

Post date December 1, 2022

Our papers focusing on signal processing with bladder pressure data will be presented at IEEE SPMB 2022. The papers involve machine learning to detect multiple bladder events in real time, and estimation of bladder pressure using only a single catheter (versus today’s standard that uses two catheters). Congratulations to all authors!
