An apparatus for determining the volume of urine in a human bladder is described. The apparatus uses light to determine the length of a flexible tube attached vertically to the outside of the bladder, and converts the length into a fullness value that is transmitted to an external device that notifies a user about the state of the bladder.

Urine collection systems and associated methods and devices are disclosed herein. A representative system can include a urine collection device, a flow control assembly configured to direct a urine flow from the patient to the urine collection device, and a urine measurement device including a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is configured to generate first sensor data based on a weight of the container, and the second sensor is configured to generate second sensor data based on the urine flow from the patient to the container. The system can further include non-transitory computer readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising determining a first patient urine output based on the first sensor data; and determining a second patient urine output based on the second sensor data.

Provided is a life support device including: a sensing information acquisition unit that acquires sensing information output from a sensor that senses a state of a person; a first estimation processor that executes first estimation processing of estimating a state of substance intake of the person based on the sensing information; a second estimation processor that executes second estimation processing of estimating a state of activity of the person, the state being correlated with the state of substance intake, based on the sensing information; a life support information generator that generates life support information on the person based on an execution result of the first estimation processing and an execution result of the second estimation processing; and a life support information output unit that outputs the life support information generated.

A system for modulating bladder function is disclosed. A system for evaluating the electrophysiological function of a bladder is disclosed. Methods for performing a controlled surgical procedure on a bladder are disclosed. A system for performing controlled surgical procedures in a minimally invasive manner is disclosed. An implantable device for monitoring and/or performing a neuromodulation procedure on a bladder is disclosed.

A catheter device for use in the photodynamic treatment of a body cavity or hollow organ of the body, such as the bladder, the device being used in the photodynamic treatment of abnormalities, disorders or diseases of the internal surfaces of said body cavity or hollow organ.

A toilet system comprising a bowl and an outlet, the toilet system being adapted for discerning between types of excretion excreted by a user of the toilet system, where the toilet system comprises at least one first sensor device configured to capture at least one signal indicative of a type of excretion excreted by a user of the toilet system, and at least one second sensor device configured to capture at least one signal indicative of a quantity of excretion excreted by a user of the toilet system.

A urinary output measuring system includes a system module, a fluid collection bag, and a pressure measurement tube having an open end disposed at the bottom interion of the fluid collection bag. The bag is configured to receive urine from a patient as delivered via a urinary catheter. The system module includes a pressure sensor, an air pump, and a valve. Processors perform operations of the system as defined by logic. A manifold defines fluid communication between the tube, the air pump, the pressure sensor, and the valve. Operations and methods include purging fluid from the tube, determining a pressure within the tube, and converting the pressure to a volume of urine within the bag. The bag includes a vent having includes a sterilizing filer and a hydrophobic membrane. The system module is configured to couple with a bed and suspend the bag.

Disclosed herein is a urinary detection system including a plurality of sensors configured to detect a urine sample and one or more analytes within the urine sample, the plurality of sensors selected from the group consisting of a moisture sensor, a pH sensor, a blood sensor, a bacteria sensor, and combinations thereof. The system further includes a console in communication with the plurality of sensors, the console including one or more processors, an energy source, non-transitory computer readable medium and a plurality of logic modules.

Disclosed herein are medical devices, systems, and methods for collecting urine output from a patient, generally including a urine receiving device and a collection container coupled with the urine receiving device. Collection devices described herein can automatically determine collected urine volume, and also automatically determine protein content, salt content and pH of the collected urine. Collection devices can automatically display different colors according to collected volumes of urine. Some devices can determine the volume of urine within a patient's bladder. Systems can include a bladder volume device and logic to facilitate communication with external entities. Some systems may also include a urine collection device. Urine receiving devices can include external catheters.

Disclosed is a nursing machine that includes a wearable working head and a urine detection circuit. The urine detection circuit includes at least two first urine sensors and at least two second urine sensors that are arranged on the working head. In response to more than one first urine sensor each outputting a liquid detected signal or in response to more than one second urine sensor each outputting the liquid detected signal, the urine detection circuit is configured to output a urine signal. In response to only one first urine sensor or only one second urine sensor outputting the liquid detected signal or in response to only one first urine sensor and only one second urine sensor each outputting the liquid detected signal, the urine detection circuit doesn't output the urine signal.
