Abstract
Content

A wireless device called the UroMonitor enables accurate, noninvasive monitoring of bladder pressure in patients with overactive bladder. It is the first device to enable catheter-free telemetric ambulatory bladder pressure monitoring in humans. The UroMonitor was developed as a noninvasive approach for assessing function of the lower urinary tract, without the need for catheter placement. The UroMonitor is a small, flexible device — no more than 2 in. across — that is placed into the patient’s bladder. Once in place, the device wirelessly transmits bladder pressure data to a small radio receiver taped to the lower abdomen.
