Description
With increasing prevalence of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in a growing elderly population, there lacks a method in which accurate quantitative urine output can be measured for these patients. Urine output tracking is important to measure the effectiveness of the diuretics prescribed to the patients and current qualitative assessments are used to modify dosages or potency of diuretics to have the desired effect of increased urine output. Our proposed solution is an iteration of a typical urine hat that is able to take automatic measurements of the urine output and transmit the data onto a secondary device. This reduces the amount of false reporting and increases accuracy and CHF patient compliance.
