Zusammenfassung:This research paper studies the possibilities of measuring urine flow and volume for the purpose of making these factors a monitoring tool by developing a portable and uncomplicated device without any difficulty or glitches in learning how to use it. Traditional urine flow measurement, often performed in clinical settings, hospitals, or medical centers, can be considered a worrying experience for patients and noisy to their comfort and privacy. This study explores the concept of a urine flow at home by analyzing its advantages in terms of patient comfort and not transgression in any way on their psychological factor. In this paper, we explain the design of our proposed device and its functions by focusing on its portability and simple affordability to suit all class categories worldwide. In addition, by making urine flow measurements available in the familiar environment of patients’ homes, our proposed innovative design aims to enable individuals to monitor their urinary health. So that there are no problems with the urinary system as the earlier the patient discovers his illness, the less it worsens. It should also be recalled that the potential benefits go beyond convenience, which may reduce the burden of the healthcare system and promote a sense of self-management among patients. This study contributes to the development of home urology instruments by paving the way for further research and probably near-future clinical applications. This systematic review examines the variability in uroflowmetry readings across different studies, and the best result sensor that could used for accurate measurement is the load cell sensor.
