A wireless strain sensor system for bladder volume monitoring

Summary form only given, as follows. A wireless IDC strain sensor system has been designed to monitor the bladder volume in patients who suffer from urinary incontinence. A proof-of-concept passive telemetry platform was developed to employ the sensor in vivo and a commercial wireless module was utilized for networking and data recording. The sensor was calibrated with a cantilever beam and the entire system was tested with a bladder phantom model.
