In one example, the disclosure relates to a catheter system comprising an elongated body defining a lumen. The elongated body comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion. An anchoring member is positioned on the proximal portion of the elongated body. The anchoring member configured to anchor the proximal portion of the elongated body to a patient. The catheter system includes one or more sensors positioned on the elongated body. The one or more sensors are configured to sense a parameter of a fluid within the lumen of the elongated body. The catheter system includes memory positioned on the elongated body, the memory configured to store patient-specific information.

A urodynamic investigation apparatus for receipt of urine from a bladder is provided. The apparatus is characterized by a tubular element, first and second fittings, and a sleeve element, for select passage of urine there through, within the tubular element. The tubular element is characterized by opposing first and second end portions, and a port. The fittings are adapted to be received by the opposing end portions of the tubular element so as to delimit an apparatus chamber. The sleeve element, suspended between the fittings within the chamber, has collapsed and open configurations. The collapsed configuration is indicative of a no urine flow condition, and the open configuration indicative of a urine flow condition, with the sleeve element urine flow condition being a function of pressure applied to the chamber via the port of the tubular element.

A portable liquid collection device includes a liquid collector, a guide tube and a liquid collection tube. The liquid collector includes a flowing liquid hole and an anti-slip structure. The guide tube includes two ends, one end connects to the liquid collector, and the other end is in a needle-shaped structure and connects to the liquid collection tube. A gas channel and a liquid channel are disposed in a tube body of the guide tube. The guide tube is provided with an outer annular structure. The liquid collection tube includes a collection tube body and a collection tube cover. The collection tube cover includes a tube cover body and a blocking plug. A placing slot for placing the blocking plug is disposed between the top and the bottom of the tube cover body.

The systems and methods described herein combine both moisture and electromyograph (EMG) sensors in a single wearable garment, along with a suitable output device such as a “smart” mobile device or computer, to provide users with new and useful feedback that can significantly improve incontinence symptoms. The EMG provides feedback to the user specifically regarding the quality of pelvic floor muscle contractions, while the moisture sensor provides feedback about the “end result” of the subjects' incontinence. Each measurement device alone can also provide useful information and feedback to different population groups. Combining these two measurements provides unprecedented data to enhance the subjects' therapy in managing urinary incontinence.

A system for uroflowmetry is disclosed. The system can include an audio device configured to obtain audio data of urination. The system can include a machine learning module with at least one processor and associated memory, wherein the system is configured to: process the audio data of urination via a machine learning model that is trained based on simulated urine flow data and associated audio data received from a urine flow simulator, and real urine flow data and associated audio data received from a urine flow measuring device, and output the processed audio data of urination to be used in uroflowmetry.

A method of obtaining high accuracy urination information is proposed. There may be provided the method of obtaining the urination information, wherein sound data is divided into a plurality of windows, segmented target data corresponding to respective windows is obtained from the sound data, segmented classification data classifying urination sections or non-urination sections and segmented urine flow rate data are obtained by using the obtained segmented target data, and urination data is obtained by using the obtained segmented classification data and the segmented urine flow rate data.

It is a principal goal of the present invention is to provide a uroflowmetry device for calculating uroflowmetry data (flow rate and other data) associated with urination sessions. The invention is an in-toilet uroflowmetry device, which unlike existing stand-alone and in-toilet devices is not touched by the urine stream, and un-like with existing in-toilet devices, the toilet is useable for all normal functions by men and women. The invention also provides new data not provided by existing uroflowmetry devices. The present invention is a device comprised of an electronic open loop belt with video cameras, a single-board computer (SBC), LEDs and various sensors to start the video cameras and control the LEDs. The video data is transferred wirelessly to a website where image processing is performed on the video data, followed by computations of flow rate and additional uroflowmetry data.

A fluid therapy method for an ADHF patient includes setting a urine output rate desired threshold, setting one or more desired negative net gain rates, and optionally setting a total fluid loss goal. The urine output of the patient is monitored and fluid is automatically administered to the patient at increasing rates to equal to or approximately match the patient's increasing urine output rates until the patient's urine output rate reaches the set urine output rate desired threshold. Thereafter, fluid is administered to the patient at rates to achieve the set desired negative net gain rate until the fluid loss goal is reached. Thereafter, until the end of therapy, fluid is administered to the patient at rates equal to or approximately equal to the monitored urine output rates.

The present invention describes a diagnostic kit comprising an indwelling catheter, a set volume of a saline solution (or corresponding solution) contained in a syringe and a drainage and diagnosis container with volume markings. Moreover, the present invention also refers to a method for performing a diagnostic test before a potential prostate surgery/treatment.

A method for quantifying a content of hydrophobic components contained in a liquid using a contact area diffusion factor (CADF) of a droplet of the liquid to a solid surface is provided. In addition, the obtained content of the hydrophobic components provides information about prediction for possibility of developing a metabolic disease or dementia, or information about the incidence or progression of a metabolic disease or dementia.
