Application: Self-learning and non-invasive bladder monitoring systems and methods (Patent ID: US20240081708A1)
The patent filed by Becton Dickinson and Co. describes a self-learning bladder volume monitoring system that utilizes electrical impedance measurements to determine the volume of fluid in a patient's bladder. The system includes a training unit that receives urine output values to modify the bladder volume model iteratively, improving its accuracy. Additionally, the system can measure total body water to adjust the model for variations in tissue surrounding the bladder, enhancing the precision of bladder volume measurements. Various sensors and systems, such as bio-impedance analysis, ultrasound, and intrabladder pressure systems, are integrated into the monitoring system to verify and train the bladder volume model effectively.
The system also includes features like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and electromyography sensors to detect patient movement, position, and bladder voiding events, further refining the accuracy of the bladder volume measurements. The patent outlines the use of a wireless communication system and stand-alone units for flexibility and convenience, with options for different types of devices such as base stations, portable computing devices, and wearable devices. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive and innovative approach to bladder volume monitoring, combining various technologies and systems to create a self-learning and adaptable system for accurate and efficient measurement of bladder fluid volume in patients.
