Abstract

This research introduces an assessment of bladder function using bioimpedance spectroscopy, noted for being not invasive. Eight healthy volunteers were selected to measure impedance spectra of belly under full and empty bladder conditions. The study demonstrates a significant relationship between belly impedance and bladder state, suggesting that this technique could be useful for monitoring it without resorting to invasive or more complicated procedures like echography and tomography. The findings indicate a promising approach that could facilitate the clinical management of patients with incontinence, improving their quality of life.
