Abstract

The sensing of urination level of bladder urine volume is effective for preventing the urinary incontinence which is one of the three major infirmities afflicting the elderly. In this study, we found that it is useful for manufactured ultrasonic urination sensor to measure between distance of anterior and posterior wall of bladder, as a preliminary experiment. Also, Thee was a intimate interrelation between urine volume level and interwall distance of bladder.
