PURPOSE This study collected and analyzed activity data sensed through smart bands worn by patients in order to resolve the clinical issues posed by using voiding charts. By developing a smart band-based algorithm for recognizing urination activity in patients, this study aimed to explore the feasibility of urination monitoring systems. METHODS This study aimed to develop an algorithm that re...

Background: The time of urination control varies in chHildren with environmental, genetic, geographical, and other factors. Objectives: We examined factors affecting children. Methods: enrolled children aged over five years at Amirkabir hospital Imam Reza pediatric clinic, Arak, Iran. They were divided into two groups without urinary incontinence. Demographic, epidemiological, clinical, gathere...

Many urological studies rely upon animal models such as rats and pigs whose urination physics and correlation to humans are poorly understood. Here we elucidate the hydrodynamics of urination across five orders of magnitude in animal mass. Using high-speed videography and flow-rate measurement at Zoo Atlanta, we discover the “Law of Urination,” which states animals empty their bladders over nea...
