Research and Development of Urination Support Devices to Improve Quality of Life and Reduce Caregiver Burden

By using ultrasound to non-invasively visualize the amount of urine in the bladder, we aim to support the prediction of urination patterns, notify users of appropriate toilet timing, and assist in creating and executing care plans in nursing settings.
Furthermore, for users who tend to rely on scheduled changes or scheduled guidance, we aim to contribute to dignified urination care by identifying the appropriate timing.

Product Features

【Adhesive Type】
Continuously measures urine accumulation in the bladder to display progression patterns. Designed for broad use, from individuals with high urinary independence to those with reduced activity levels and high bedridden status.

【Single-Use Type】
For individuals with relatively high activity levels or other cases where attachment to the upper bladder is difficult, it allows checking the degree of urine accumulation in the bladder at any desired time.

【Scale】
Predicts urination timing by detecting urination time and volume without handling urine.

Technical Features

Applying A-mode ultrasound technology cultivated in medical settings to the field of nursing care.
