1. A method comprising:

  • sensing a bladder condition via a sensor carried on a distal end of a lead, the sensor positioned within an interior of the bladder, the lead having an electrical conductor therein, and the lead extending from the interior of the bladder to a sensing device implanted outside of the bladder via penetration of a wall of the bladder; and

    transmitting the sensed bladder condition via wireless communication to an implanted stimulator that is configured to deliver stimulation therapy for urinary incontinence based on the sensed bladder condition,wherein the implantable stimulator and sensing devices are separate devices.
