Problem
Continuous monitoring of bladder volume and hemodynamic parameters typically requires invasive procedures or bulky, non-portable ultrasound equipment, limiting the ability to proactively manage patient health and prevent complications. Traditional methods can be uncomfortable for patients and may not provide the real-time data needed for timely intervention.
Solution
Edgecare provides a patch-type ultrasound probe that enables continuous, non-invasive monitoring of internal patient conditions. The flexible, wearable sensor adheres to the patient's skin and transmits real-time data on bladder volume and hemodynamic status to medical staff. This allows for early detection of urinary retention, fluid imbalances, and other critical changes, facilitating proactive intervention and improved patient outcomes. The device aims to replace intermittent manual assessments with continuous data streams, reducing the risk of missed events and enabling personalized treatment plans.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes medical professionals in hospitals and clinics, particularly those in intensive care units, operating rooms, and urology departments, who need continuous, real-time monitoring of patients' bladder volume and hemodynamic status.
