A comprehensive survey on non-invasive wearable bladder volume monitoring systems.
Measuring the volume of urine in the bladder is a significant issue in patients who suffer from the lack of bladder fullness sensation or have problems with timeliness getting to the restroom, such as spinal cord injury patients and some of the elderlies. Real-time monitoring of the bladder, therefo...

Real-time monitoring of the bladder, therefore, can be highly helpful for urinary incontinence. Bladder volume monitoring technologies can be divided into two distinct categories of invasive and non-invasive. In invasive techniques, a catheter is directly inserted into the urethra to measure the amount of urine accurately. However, it is painful, limits the user's ordinary movements, and may hurt the urinary tract. Current non-invasive techniques measure the volume of the bladder from the skin using different stationary or portable apparatus at health centers. Both techniques have difficulties and are not cost-effective to use for a long period. Recently, both invasive and non-invasive methods have been attempted to be produced in the form of wearable devices utilizing different sensing and communication technologies. Wearable bladder monitoring devices can be easily used by patients with no or few clinical steps, making them much more affordable than non-wearable devices. While wearable devices seem to be a highly convenient and effective solution, they suffer from few drawbacks, such as relatively low precision. Hence, a great number of studies have been conducted to address these issues. In this article, we review and discuss non-invasive and minimally invasive methods for monitoring the bladder volume. We focus on the most practical and state-of-the-art methods employed in wearable devices, classify them by engineering and medical characteristics, and investigate their specifications, architectures, and measurement algorithms. This study aims to introduce the latest advances in this field to practitioners while comparing the advantages and disadvantages of existing approaches. Our study concludes with open problems and future trends in the area of bladder monitoring and measurement systems.
