Conducting Focus Groups With Patients and Healthcare Practitioners to Inform the Development of a Sensor Which Measures Urine Flow, Volume and Voiding Patterns, in Order to Diagnose Pathologies of the Urinary System
The study is seeking to understand the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners for an innovation in the way that changes in bladder function are assessed. This information will be used in the design and evaluation of a device, being developed in parallel, that assesses changes to the volume and flow of urine in order to determine changes in bladder function.
In order to ensure development is optimal, the principal research objective is therefore to understand the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners (ranging from care home staff and GPs in primary care, to urologists in tertiary referral centres).
