"Urgency tip": a portable patient-activated device for objective measurement of urinary urgency.
For clinical practice and research of overactive bladder syndrome, it is essential to evaluate urgency symptoms in daily life. We have developed a portable patient-activated device to record bladder sensations. This electronic device is pocket-size and light, with five grading buttons and another button for cancellation.
