Urology. 2007 Mar;69(3):570-1. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2007.01.036.

Abstract

For clinical practice and research of overactive bladder syndrome, it is essential to evaluate urgency symptoms in daily life. We have developed a portable patient-activated device to record bladder sensations. This electronic device is pocket-size and light, with five grading buttons and another button for cancellation.
