Minze Diary Pod Consumer Automated Bladder Diary with Flow App for People struggling with Bladder Health and Urination Issues

Minze Diary Pod Consumer with Minze Flow App introduction

Minze Diary Pod is an ergonomically-shaped single user device that has been designed to perform the crucial role of an innovative automated bladder diary, a precise diagnostic and treatment follow-up tool for people with lower urinary tract problems, urination issues and concerns about bladder health.

In its unique role of the automated bladder diary, the Minze Diary Pod replaces the need for compiling of largely inaccurate paper-based bladder diary manually, using measuring cups to capture voided urine, pen and paper to record the voiding events as well as note other important facts, such as fluid consumption, urine leakages and more.      

Used with the user-friendly Minze Flow App, the easy to use handheld Minze Diary Pod collects real-time accurate voiding data, whilst the Minze Flow App gathers information on all relevant parameters, such as fluid intake, urinary frequency, urge or urine loss over a period of time. Precisely collected data are important for identifying the true cause of urinary symptoms, crucial for more accurate diagnosis as well as for appropriate treatment selection and monitoring of treatment effectiveness and/or symptoms regression.        

The user of the Minze Diary Pod receives objective insights into the bladder and urinary symptoms for greater understanding and personalised lifestyle advice with recommendations for corrective actions to be taken. Progression of symptoms can be monitored over time and when treated, the progress of the treatment can be monitored and compared to objective data. Additionally, results can be easily shared with medical professionals and other healthcare providers if/when the user chooses to do so.

Using Minze Diary Pod Consumer with Minze Flow App

Minze Diary Pod is a wireless and easy to use automated bladder diary device designed to help you collect voided urine and urine volume measurements that form the essential basis of a bladder diary. Keeping a bladder diary is the first step in looking at and addressing urological problems and related issues. Minze Diary Pod replaces traditional ‘pen and paper’ diaries, and importantly, it overcomes paper diary limitations, namely misleading inaccuracies, incorrect estimations and omissions.         

1. Diary Pod Consumer is an ergonomically-shaped collection and measuring device for easy voiding of urine by men, women and toilet-trained children. Voiding into the Diary Pod can be performed in natural voiding positions – standing, squatting or sitting. Diary Pod is light and portable and ideal for compiling of voiding data for automated bladder diary that is reliable, accurate and representative, thus, making it perfect for diagnostic and monitoring purposes.        
2. Diary Pod is usable with the Minze Flow App. Minze Flow App connects the Diary Pod with the analytical Platform that processes, analyses and presents collected data. Importantly, the Flow App guides through the process of using the Diary Pod easily and effectively.  

• Please note: Detailed illustrated user instructions are supplied with the Diary Pod Consumer and cover the use of the Diary Pod and the Flow App. 
• Minze Flow App is available free from the App Store for iOS smartphones and from Google Play for the Android smartphones.
• Please ensure that you have downloaded the app to your smartphone before embarking on the first use of the Diary Pod Consumer. Thereafter, refer to the step by step user instructions provided with the device. Diary Pod Consumer user instructions are simple, but thorough and easy to understand and simple to follow.

Compiling the Automated Bladder Diary using the Diary Pod Consumer and Flow App

You will be required to collect data for your bladder diary for 2 days and 2 nights – from the first morning void on the day 1 to the last urine void collected with the Diary Pod first thing in the morning of the day 3 over the total bladder diary collection period of circa 48 hours. In other words, you will commence your bladder diary void collections with a morning void on day 1 and complete the bladder dairy with a morning void on the day 3, thus collecting 3 x morning voids.

Additionally, over the period of the 48 hours of bladder diary void collection, you will be required to log every urination, urine loss and fluid intake to compile an accurate and representative picture of your normal urine voiding pattern with corresponding fluid intake.   

It is therefore crucially important that you use the Diary Pod diligently to capture all urinations during each day and each night. You must also answer all questions presented in the Flow App as well as diligently declare all fluid intakes and answer all questions received in the Flow App.  

After 2 days & 2 nights of recording your urinary voids and fluid intakes in the Flow App, you can view your results on Minze Analytical Portal at results.minzehealth.com. You can do this conveniently on a desktop PC, a laptop or a tablet as you prefer. Your results will be presented as easy to understand colour coded charts of symptoms with personalised suggestions on how to improve your self-care and reduce your symptoms. Colour coding will allow you to understand your values and recognise if they are within or outside the normal range. Advice on how to improve your bladder health is personalised and always based on your actual results. You will be able to create multiple voiding bladder diaries to monitor and track your progress going forward.

You will also be able to easily share the results with your clinician if you choose to do so. Sharing the results with your doctor could lead to a more thorough diagnosis based on actual and representative measurements and other information collected by the automated bladder diary (i.e. Diary Pod and Flow App).
