Wireless urodynamic monitoring system with automated voiding diary
First Claim
1. A system for forming a urinary voiding diary for a patient, the system comprising:
- an implantable urodynamic monitor to generate urodynamic information based on a sensed physiological condition within a urinary tract of a patient in response to a voiding event activation command; and
an external controller to receive the urodynamic information from the monitor via wireless communication, and record the urodynamic information to form a voiding diary.

Abstract
The disclosure describes a wireless urodynamic monitoring system with an automated voiding diary feature. The system senses and records urodynamic information in response to a user command or in response to detection of the onset of a voiding event. The urodynamic information obtained over a series of voiding events forms an automated voiding diary that is useful in diagnosis of urological disorders. An implantable monitor obtains the urodynamic information and either records the information locally or transmits the information to an external controller via a wireless telemetry link. In some embodiments, the external controller may include a loop recorder for recording urodynamic information obtained by the implantable monitor over an extended period of time.
