DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Wireless Urinary Pressure Sensor (WUPS) system based on the mature and widely used techniques of radio-frequency (RF) interrogation and capacitive- pressure sensing. The WUPS system is aimed to effectively and efficiently monitor a patient's bladder pressure for extended periods of time while minimizing the discomfort experienced by the user. This is made possible by the following advantages of WUPS. Its miniature packaging of <5 mm in diameter and <20 mm length allows it to be easily inserted into and retrieved from the bladder using a specially designed catheter. The use of wireless transmission allows accurate measurement of the bladder pressure without impeding the urinary process of the patient. The ergonomic design and noninvasive nature of the system make it comfortable for the patient. In Phase I POC will demonstrate the feasibility of the WUPS system by developing a proof-of-concept prototype and testing it in a custom-made synthetic bladder. In Phase II we will miniaturize and ruggedize the WUPS package, and develop a dedicated catheter for inserting and retrieving the WUPS. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: PROJECT NARRATIVE Overactive bladders and urinary incontinence (inability to control the bladder) affect more than 50 million Americans in today's society. These issues can cause not only embarrassment, but lead to wasted time and resources, dangerous falls, and even infection. With the medicines available to treat bladder disorders of many types, the only hurdle to overcome is early detection and diagnosis, easily accomplished with proper monitoring and analysis of bladder activity.

描述（由申请人提供）：物理光学公司（POC）提议基于基于射频（RF）询问和电容性压力传感的成熟且广泛使用的技术开发新的无线尿压传感器（WUPS）系统。 WUPS系统的目的是有效，有效地监测患者的膀胱压力，同时最大程度地减少用户所经历的不适感。 WUP的以下优势使这成为可能。它的微型包装的直径<5 mm，长度<20 mm的长度使其可以使用特殊设计的导管轻松地从膀胱中插入并从膀胱中检索。无线传输的使用可以准确地测量膀胱压力，而不会阻碍患者的尿过程。系统的人体工程学设计和无创性使其适合患者。在I期中，POC将通过开发概念验证原型并在定制的合成膀胱中对其进行测试，以证明WUPS系统的可行性。在第二阶段，我们将小型化和加固WUPS软件包，并开发用于插入和检索WUP的专用导管。 公共卫生相关性：项目叙述 过度活动的膀胱和尿失禁（无法控制膀胱）在当今社会中影响了超过5000万美国人。这些问题不仅会导致尴尬，而且会导致浪费时间和资源，危险的跌倒甚至感染。借助可用于治疗多种类型的膀胱疾病的药物，要克服的唯一障碍是早期检测和诊断，可以通过对膀胱活动进行适当的监测和分析来轻松完成。
