1. Background 2. Objectives
3.Requirements
• The urinary system keeps body fluids in
balance.
• The excreted urine leaves the body through
the kidneys via the ureters, urinary bladder,
and urethra.
• Accurate monitoring of urine output (UO) is
essential to the patient medical management.
• The UO is still measured manually and is
likely the most relevant physiological
parameter that has yet to be sensed
automatically.
• Automation of the task will discharge the
medical staff of a considerable workload and
avoids human errors, which are common in
repetitive and monotonous tasks.
• Accurate fluid
monitoring ( error<5%).
• light weight (<2 Kg).
• low cost (project
budget limitation).
• the system should fit
inside hospital use
and indoors facilities.
• The system should
comply with
regulatory bodies
requirements.
• To design an accurate
device for medical
fluids monitoring.
• To consider the
physiological
limitations and needs
of the medical staff.
