Urological Condition Simulator for Accurate Uroflowmeter Calibration and Testing

This project describes the development of a urological condition simulator designed to test uroflowmeters. The simulator reproduces various urological conditions by programming voltage sequences to control a pump, thus mimicking specific urinary flow patterns. The main conditions simulated are benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), overactive detrusor, urethral stricture and underactive detrusor. Each condition is modeled using parameters such as maximum flow velocity, mean flow velocity and flow duration. Using an ESP32 microcontroller, the system generates tailored voltage sequences that produce accurate and reproducible urinary flow patterns. The results demonstrate the successful generation of voltage sequences corresponding to each urological condition, allowing for consistent simulation of the flow characteristics. This method provides a reliable tool for the standardized testing and calibration of uroflowmeters, ensuring their accuracy in clinical diagnostics and monitoring of urological conditions.

Abstract

This project describes the development of a urological condition simulator designed to test uroflowmeters. The simulator reproduces various urological conditions by programming voltage sequences to control a pump, thus mimicking specific urinary flow patterns. The main conditions simulated are benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), overactive detrusor, urethral stricture and underactive detrusor. Each condition is modeled using parameters such as maximum flow velocity, mean flow velocity and flow duration. Using an ESP32 microcontroller, the system generates tailored voltage sequences that produce accurate and reproducible urinary flow patterns. The results demonstrate the successful generation of voltage sequences corresponding to each urological condition, allowing for consistent simulation of the flow characteristics. This method provides a reliable tool for the standardized testing and calibration of uroflowmeters, ensuring their accuracy in clinical diagnostics and monitoring of urological conditions.
