Abstract:
Flow rate measurement devices and systems for accurate urine analysis to determine benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urethral stricture disease (USD) generally comprise a recording unit, an analysis unit, and a transmission unit. The recording unit includes device hardware and/or software configured to record data related to urinary flow rate. The analysis unit includes device hardware and/or software configured to assess, analyze, evaluate, or otherwise appraise the recorded data. The transmission unit includes device hardware and/or software configured to transmit the recorded and analyzed data.
