Developing a Simple Test to Diagnose Overactive Bladder

Translation of a Novel Overactive Bladder 'Fingerprint' Into a Breakthrough Non-invasive Diagnostic Test for Use in a Point of Care Setting

In order to develop a test to diagnose overactive bladder from urine, it is essential that this test is at least as accurate as the tools that clinicians currently use. As such, this study will compare the performance of the device in development to the performance of existing methods.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study
• The participant has been diagnosed with over-active bladder
• Aged 18 years or above
• Male or Female

Exclusion Criteria:

• The participant is unwilling to give informed consent for participation in the study
• The participant is unable to represent their own interests or is particularly susceptible to coercion (i.e. is deemed as vulnerable)
• The participant has been diagnosed with neurologic disease (stroke, MS, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury); history of uterine, cervical, vaginal or urethral cancer; history of cyclophosphamide use or any type of chemical cystitis; history of benign or malignant bladder tumours; has had Botulinum injections, neuromodulation or augmentation cystoplasty
• Aged 17 years or younger.
