Imagine trying to understand how a leaky pipe works by only looking at it for 15 minutes while forcing water through it; that is how bladder tests work today. This technology puts a tiny, high-tech sensor directly into the bladder for up to 30 days. It records how the bladder behaves during a person's normal daily routine, giving doctors a full movie instead of a single snapshot.
Current bladder diagnostics rely on a 15-minute artificial snapshot that fails to capture real-world bladder function. This leads to incorrect treatments for millions and risks life-threatening high-pressure situations.
A complete medical device system consisting of a micro-nanotechnology Sensor Probe, a Sensor Data Logger, and a software solution with automated data pipelines.
If you are a diagnostic equipment provider dealing with the limitations of 15-minute snapshot tests — this project developed a micro and nanotechnology sensor system that enables continuous measurement for up to 30 days. This allows for a more accurate diagnosis of the 900 million people globally with urinary dysfunction.
If you are a clinic dealing with the challenge of deciding between medication, assistive devices, or surgery for bladder obstructions — this project developed a sensor probe and data logger that monitors pressure under normal physiological conditions. This helps physicians set the right diagnosis and avoid life-threatening high-pressure situations.
If you are a data firm dealing with fragmented patient monitoring — this project developed software with robust data pipelines for automated exchange and processing of bladder pressure data. This transforms raw sensor readings into actionable clinical insights for long-term monitoring.
Based on available project data, the specific unit price is not mentioned, although the project received an EU contribution of EUR 2,499,000 for development.
Yes, the project reports that the hardware and software were engineered to ensure scalability for clinical and commercial success.
Based on available project data, the technology is based on more than 10 years of research at SINTEF and is now developed by InVivo Bionics AS.
Yes, the sensor probe and data logger underwent rigorous performance, safety, and EMC trials to ensure regulatory compliance.
The sensor is designed to be inserted directly into the bladder and enable continuous measurement for up to 30 days.
The project is led by a single partner, InVivo Bionics AS, a Norwegian SME. This 100% industry-led consortium indicates a strong focus on commercialization and rapid market entry rather than academic exploration, leveraging 10 years of prior research from SINTEF.
