AI总结：
本文提出一种集成式柔性可穿戴超声膀胱容量监测设备，实现自主连续监测，在健康志愿者上验证高精度，并可拓展至其他可穿戴超声应用。
摘要：
膀胱容量测量对于下尿路功能障碍的早期检测和管理至关重要。目前的金标准方法具有侵入性，而替代技术要么需要训练有素的人员，要么无法提供医疗级别的信息。在此，我们报告了一种集成的可穿戴超声膀胱容量监测（UBVM）设备，用于准确且自主地连续监测膀胱容量。该设备集成了柔性且背衬空气的超声换能器，以及具有无线数据传输能力的小型化控制电子设备。我们在具有不同膀胱形状和大小的健康志愿者身上展示了该设备的实际应用，并达到了高精度。除了下尿路功能障碍外，所提出的技术还可适用于各种可穿戴超声应用。
英文摘要：
Bladder volume measurement is critical for early detection and management of lower urinary tract dysfunctions. The current gold standard is invasive, and alternative technologies either require trained personnel or do not offer medical grade information. Here, we report an integrated wearable ultrasonic bladder volume monitoring (UBVM) device for accurate and autonomous continuous monitoring of the bladder volume. The device incorporates flexible and air-backed ultrasonic transducers and miniaturized control electronics with wireless data transmission capability. We demonstrated the real-life application of the device on healthy volunteers with various bladder shapes and sizes with high accuracy. Apart from the lower urinary tract dysfunctions, the proposed technology could also be adapted for various wearable ultrasonic applications.
