The present invention is related to a device and a system for voiding dysfunction diagnosis. By detecting a vibration signal generated by the urine from a patient who suffers from urinary dysfunction, the present invention could efficiently and accurately detect and monitor the condition of the patient. The present invention can be introduced to actual clinical applications achieving continuous monitoring urination status for the patient for home care. The present invention could also provide urinary medication efficiency or urinary status of the patient before or after prostate surgery.

A patient monitor and a separate user interface for the patient monitor, adapted to communicate with one another over a communication pathway. Both the patient monitor and the separate user interface are able to independently check the status of the communication pathway, and visually indicate this status.

The present application discloses a urine monitoring device that can measure physiological parameters from a user's urine to assess certain cardiac, or cardiovascular, or other metabolic risks, or other disease risks, or the user's response to certain medications. The device is portable and can be handheld or mounted inside a toilet, or on a urinal. The device can authenticate the user, and upon authentication of a verified user collected data from the user's urine can be automatically transferred using secure data transfer protocols to the user's personal electronic devices such as a smart watch or a mobile phone, or to the user's other data accounts via the internet or cellular communication for further data processing, or for user's view, or for user's physician and care team to review. The device can also be used in conjunction with a urine catheter and urine collecting bags as used in hospitals to collect urine from hospitalized patients for a continuous monitoring of patients' key urine parameters, patients' response to certain medications, and patients' health in general during hospitalization.

A fluid monitoring system includes a fluid collection container, a monitoring module, and a console. The monitoring module can include a frame including a first frame member and a second frame member, the first frame member being displaceable with respect to the second frame member. The monitoring module can further include a coupling device configured to connect the fluid collection container to the frame, and a load cell operatively coupled between the first frame member and the second frame member. The load cell can be configured to produce an electrical signal in accordance with a weight of fluid accumulated in the fluid collection container. The console can include logic stored in memory that, when executed by one or more processors, causes performance of operations that include receiving the electrical signal from the load cell, converting the electrical signal into volumetric fluid data, and transmitting the volumetric fluid data.

A flow measurement device for assessing free surface fluid flow that includes a void container defining a void chamber and including an upper opening configured to receive the free surface fluid flow, a measurement container defining a measurement chamber in fluid communication with the void chamber via at least one through opening, an exit orifice defined in the measurement container and configured to allow fluid to drain from the measurement chamber at a known outflow rate based on fluid level, and at least one capacitive sensor configured to measure a level of fluid in the measurement chamber. A fluid path is defined through the upper opening, into the void chamber, through the at least one through opening, into the measurement chamber, and through the exit orifice.

A monitoring structure without chip including at least one first monitoring component. The at least one first monitoring component includes a first substrate and a first signal sensing portion. The first signal sensing portion includes a first signal sensing section, a second signal sensing section, a third signal sensing section and a fourth signal sensing section. The first signal sensing section, the second signal sensing section, the third signal sensing section and the fourth signal sensing section are disposed along a periphery of the substrate. The first signal sensing section and the third signal sensing section are connected to two opposite ends of the second signal sensing section, respectively. The fourth signal sensing section is connected to the third signal sensing section, and is spaced apart from the first signal sensing section via a notch.

A device for draining bodily fluids is described herein which generally may comprise an elongate body defining one or more lumens configured to receive a bodily fluid from a cavity, e.g., bladder, of a patient body. The one or more lumens are in fluid communication with a reservoir which may receive the bodily fluid. A pumping mechanism may be used to urge the bodily fluid through the one or more lumens, where the pumping mechanism is configured to maintain an open space within the one or more lumens such that outflow of the bodily fluid through the one or more lumens remains unobstructed such that a negative pressure buildup in the cavity is inhibited. The device may also include a vent or valve mechanism in communication with the elongate body to allow air to enter or exit the one or more lumens.

A device for collecting urine discharged from a body of a user includes a fluid collection assembly having at least one layer for drawing urine discharged from the body into an interior cavity, an external covering that covers a portion of the at least one layer, and at least one fenestration for receiving urine, wherein the fenestration is a portion of the fluid collection assembly that is uncovered by the external covering. The device further includes a cap enclosing a first end of the assembly, a tube having a first end in fluid communication with the cap, and a shape retaining element configured to conform the assembly to a curved configuration and maintain the curved configuration until the configuration is adjusted. The assembly is configured to be disposed against the body of the user, with the at least one fenestration in operative relation with a urethral opening of the user.

A fluid container measurement system is configured to suspend a load measurement assembly a distance above a support surface. The load measurement assembly houses a load cell and a measurement control circuit. The measurement control circuit is coupled to the load cell and configured to receive electrical signals indicative of a force imposed on the load cell. Electrical signals generated by the load cell indicative of the force exerted on the load cell can be used to measure the fluid container attached to the load cell linkage member. Methods of measuring a fluid container include attaching a fluid container to a fluid container attachment region and displaying the load measurement on a display adjustably attached to an upper surface of the housing of the load measurement assembly.

Systems and methods of evaluating a patient comprise the steps of obtaining temporal data of the patient after an event, monitoring a plurality of patient parameters, compiling patient data based on the temporal data and patient parameters, determining a state or change in state of the patient based on the compiled patient data, and alerting medical staff of the state or change in state.
