The SENS-U monitors the filling of the bladder and gives a notification when the bladder is nearly full via a vibration in the SENS-U and/or a message on a smartphone. The user is notified that the bladder is full and action should be taken. The SENS-U Bladder Sensor helps to prevent unwanted urinary loss.
The SENS-U KIDS is intended for schoolchildren who are under the treatment of a medical professional. It teaches children who are late with toilet training to go to the toilet when their bladder is full.
The SENS-U is a non-invasive wearable sensor that uses ultrasound to detect how full the bladder is. The SENS-U bladder sensor is placed on the lower abdomen using a double-sided adhesive plaster. Ultrasound gel and a plaster are applied between the sensor and the skin to guarantee ultrasound conductivity and ensure it remains in the correct position. The measurement details are processed in the SENS-U, and the data is sent to a smartphone via Bluetooth.
The SENS-U is a non-invasive wearable sensor using ultrasound technology to measure bladder filling. The SENS-U Bladder Sensor is placed on the lower abdomen with an adhesive patch. Between the sensor and the skin, ultrasound gel and an adhesive patch are used to ensure ultrasound conduction and fixation. The sensor data is pre-processed in the scanner, and data is sent to a smartphone using Bluetooth.
