Abstract

An ultrasonic urine sensor was developed to improve the quality of life for older people with urinary incontinence. The sensor was first designed for medical use and is now used in the clinical guideline of the Japanese Urological Association. Improvements were undertaken to make the sensor easy to use. The new approach is described in this paper.
