Description

This project describes the construction, validation, use, and design of a uroflow measurement system based on a low-cost Arduino MKR1010 electronics platform and an inexpensive food weigh scale. This system measures peak urinary flow rate, which might be helpful in tracking the benefit of drug therapies for treating urinary obstruction associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), that is, enlargement of the prostate gland. BPH occurs in a majority of older men and can obstruct the urethra, causing difficulty in urinating. One way of quantitatively evaluating the progression of this condition and assessing the benefit of the various available treatments is by measuring the maximum flow rate (Qmax) during urination. The PCB and enclosure might be useful for other MKR1010 projects. See uroflow.pdf on github.
