At-home and clinic urine flow monitoring
Official title: Digital Uroflowmetry for Office and Home
Funded at Urogenie LLC · NIH-11176184 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project offers a small Bluetooth detector and smartphone app so adults and children can measure urine flow at home or in the clinic and send results to their medical record.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
People (children and adults) who have lower urinary tract symptoms—such as weak stream, frequent urination, hesitancy, or incontinence—or whose doctor has ordered uroflowmetry would be the ideal candidates.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who use an indwelling or intermittent catheter, cannot void on demand, have severe mobility or cognitive impairment, or require invasive urodynamic testing likely would not benefit.
What this research studies
You would use a small detector that pairs with your phone to record your urine flow and produce a flow curve plus summary numbers like voided volume, peak flow, and total void time. The device is designed to replace the funnel-and-vessel setup used in clinics and can be used either in the office or at home. Data are transmitted electronically and intended to be integrated into the electronic medical record so clinicians can view searchable results rather than paper printouts. The goal is to make testing faster, less labor intensive, and more convenient for patients and clinics.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could complete uroflow testing at home or more quickly in clinic with clear electronic data that go directly into their medical records.
How similar studies have gone: Traditional clinic uroflowmetry is well established, while home or Bluetooth-enabled uroflow devices are relatively new and have only limited published evidence so far.
