Disclosed herein is a system for monitoring urine output (UO) of a patient. The system includes a UO module configured to couple with a collection container. The UO module includes (i) a frame configured for anchoring to frame rails of a bed, (ii) a load cell configured to measure a weight of UO within the container and (iii) logic stored in memory that determines volumetric UO data from the load cell and transmits the UO data across a network to an external entity. An intermediate coupling device between the collection container and the UO module is configured to couple with the collection container and inhibit decoupling from the collection container. The intermediate coupling device includes an identification device attached thereto, identification device including patient information, and the logic links the UO data to the patient information.

The present disclosure relates to a sitting toilet type uroflowmeter apparatus. The sitting toilet type uroflowmeter apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a toilet main body having a water collecting tank; a seat part that is positioned above the toilet main body and that is rotatable; and a uroflow sensor that is positioned on a bottom surface of the water collecting tank and that measures a flux over time.

The present disclosure provides a urodynamic measurement apparatus that includes a urethral catheter that may be inserted inside a patient's bladder, a first sensor that may be spaced apart from the patient, and connected to the urethral catheter to measure an inner pressure of the bladder, a rectal catheter that may be inserted inside the patient's rectum, a second sensor that may be spaced apart from the patient, but adjacent to the first sensor, and connected to the rectal catheter to measure an abdominal pressure, and a first position adjuster that adjusts the height of the first sensor and the second sensor according to the patient's posture.

In some examples, a medical device includes an elongated body defining an inner lumen. The medical device further includes an anchoring member and a first sensor at a proximal portion of the elongated body, and a second sensor at a distal portion of the elongated body or distal to a distal end of the elongated body. The second sensor is configured to sense a substance of interest and the elongated body comprises a material that is a substantially non-permeable to the substance of interest.

A uroflowmetry device including a funnel for funneling urine of a user, a sensor for measuring urine level in the funnel over a measurement period, a paddle wheel operable to rotate in response to urine exiting the funnel and generate a signal after each rotation during said measurement period, a transmitter for transmitting data from the uroflowmetry device to a smart device, and a processor. The processor configured to, while the user is urinating, compute a urine flowrate based on urine level in the funnel and a number of rotations of the paddle wheel over the measurement period, and transmit the urine flowrate to the smart device to provide real-time urination feedback to the user.

The present invention relates to a device for measuring a bodily fluid drainage amount, the device comprising: a measurement case which is formed of a rigid material and provided with a bodily fluid measurement space therein; a drainage tube which is coupled to an entrance of the measurement case in a releasable structure and transfers bodily fluids discharged from a human body to the bodily fluid measurement space of the measurement case; a plurality of fluid level sensors, which are horizontally disposed on an upper surface of the measurement case and measure and inform fluid levels of the bodily fluids collected in the bodily fluid measurement space; and a control device which receives and analyzes the fluid levels of the bodily fluids, infers a tilt of the measurement case from a difference in the fluid levels of the bodily fluids, and calculates and informs a bodily fluid drainage amount.

A catheter for measuring pressure in the urinary tract of a patient includes a catheter body having a proximal and distal end. A plurality of lumens is formed in the catheter body, and an adaptor is coupled to the proximal end of the catheter body. The adaptor includes a port for each lumen. A first pressure sensor, typically including a balloon, is fluidically coupled to a first lumen and is configured and positioned to measure pressure in a urethra of the patient. A second pressure sensor, also typically including a balloon, is fluidically coupled to a second lumen and is configured and positioned on the catheter body to measure pressure in a bladder of the patient. An expandable retention member, which may be coupled to a third lumen, is positioned on the catheter body between the first and second expandable pressure sensors so that the catheter body may be retained at a selected location in the urinary tract to properly position the fluid pressure sensors in the bladder and urethra, respectively.

A vital signs monitoring system, the system including: (a) an ear device including: a curved body adapted to a shape of an ear, an upper end, a lower end, two opposite facing sides, a first side adapted to be proximal a skull and a second side adapted to be proximal an earlobe, the ear device including: (i) a temperature sensor adapted to sense a body temperature from a depression between a lower, jawbone and skull; and (b) a control system, including a processor and a memory, configured and operable to control operation of the ear device, to collect signals received from at least one sensor including the temperature sensor, to process the signals to provide medically significant results.
