Konkuk University Hospital, Department of Urology Kim A-Ram(Photo left) Professor and Dankook University Kim Se-hwan (Photo woo) Professor’s joint research team applied for a patent by developing a patch that measures and informs the amount of urine in the bladder when attached to the lower abdomen.
 |
This patch uses an optical diagnostic technique called NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy). Using a near-infrared light source (600~1000nm) that is harmless to the human body, the amount of urine is reported by analyzing optical properties such as light absorption and light scattering when urine is filled in the bladder.
Professor Aram Kim of the research team said, “Neurogenic bladder patients do not feel urinary well, which leads to complications in many cases.” Revealed.
Professor Aram Kim runs a neurogenic bladder clinic. Professor Aram Kim said, “We are professionally treating the neurogenic bladder that patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkin’s disease, and spinal injuries complain about.” And developed it.”
