Minze Diary Pod: Automated Digital Bladder Diary with Bluetooth and Minze app
The Minze Diary Pod is a fully automated digital bladder diary designed for men, women, and children. It’s a revolutionary tool for patients with Overactive Bladder (OAB), Nocturia, and Stress Incontinence, providing practical and educational support. For clinicians and medical researchers, it offers invaluable data for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Bladder diaries are essential for obtaining objective information used in diagnosis and treatment follow-up. Accurate and representative bladder diaries are a simple and effective way to screen for incontinence and nocturia symptoms.
The Minze Diary Pod, combined with the AI-assisted Minze app, helps clinicians educate and motivate patients by providing personalized insights into their lower urinary tract conditions. The system offers lifestyle advice tailored to the patient's condition, helping to minimize its impact on daily life. The data collected through the Diary Pod allows clinicians to make accurate diagnoses, select optimal treatments, and provide long-term patient support. Additionally, the Minze Diary Pod offers scientifically validated advice on fluid intake management, nocturia, and bladder training exercises.
The Minze Diary Pod is a portable, ergonomically designed, reusable device with Bluetooth that automatically records the time and volume of voided urine. It’s suitable for use by men, women, and children, enabling them to keep accurate 3-day bladder diaries. The device is easy to use anywhere - at home, work, school, or on the go - wherever access to a restroom is available.
With the Minze Diary Pod and the AI-assisted Minze app, clinicians gain accurate 24-hour insights into a patient’s liquid intake and voiding habits. This helps in the correct identification and diagnosis of issues, selection of appropriate treatments, and monitoring of treatment effectiveness over time. Clinicians can set baseline values and track multiple data points to evaluate post-intervention outcomes.
The Minze app’s AI features assist patients in correctly entering data and encourage them to complete the full 3-day bladder diary cycle. These automated digital bladder diaries are more accurate and representative of patients' lifestyles, providing valuable information for clinicians during diagnosis and treatment monitoring. The app also offers tutorials and educational videos to motivate patients to follow prescribed treatments and manage expectations, while lifestyle advice helps patients cope better with their conditions.
The Minze Diary Pod connects via Bluetooth to the AI-assisted Minze app, which automatically transmits data (urine volume and time of voiding) to the cloud-based Minze Clinician Portal. The app also tracks trends in voided volume, liquid intake, and leakage episodes over 24-hour bladder diary cycles. Data is processed, color-coded according to normal values, and presented on the Clinician Portal for easy access by healthcare professionals.
Clinicians can monitor patients' progress over multiple bladder diaries, export data reports as PDFs to Electronic Health Records (EHR), and collect valuable patient feedback through ePROMs questionnaires. The Clinician Portal is accessible in real-time, 24/7.
The Minze app is available for both iOS and Android devices, and can be downloaded from the Apple Store and Google Play.
