Bladder monitoring, including urinary incontinence management and bladder urinary volume monitoring, is a vital part of urological care. Urinary incontinence is a common medical condition affecting the quality of life of more than 420 million people worldwide, and bladder urinary volume is an important indicator to evaluate the function and health of the bladder. Previous studies on non-invasive techniques for urinary incontinence management technology, bladder activity and bladder urine volume monitoring have been conducted. This scoping review outlines the prevalence of bladder monitoring with a focus on recent developments in smart incontinence care wearable devices and the latest technologies for non-invasive bladder urine volume monitoring using ultrasound, optical and electrical bioimpedance techniques. The results found are promising and their application will improve the well-being of the population suffering from neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder and the management of urinary incontinence. The latest research advances in bladder urinary volume monitoring and urinary incontinence management have significantly improved existing market products and solutions and will enable the development of more effective future solutions.
膀胱监测，包括尿失禁管理和膀胱尿量监测，是泌尿科护理的重要组成部分。尿失禁是一种常见的医疗状况，影响着全球超过 4.2 亿人的生活质量，而膀胱尿量是评估膀胱功能和健康的重要指标。先前已经对尿失禁管理技术、膀胱活动和膀胱尿量监测的非侵入性技术进行了研究。本范围综述概述了膀胱监测的流行情况，重点介绍了智能失禁护理可穿戴设备的最新发展以及使用超声、光学和电生物阻抗技术进行非侵入性膀胱尿量监测的最新技术。研究结果很有前景，它们的应用将改善患有膀胱神经功能障碍和尿失禁的人群的福祉。膀胱尿量监测和尿失禁管理的最新研究进展显著改进了现有市场产品和解决方案，并将能够开发出更有效的未来解决方案。
