MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047818 A) filed by Cvr College Of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 15, for 'uro-track.'
Inventor(s) include Dr R Usha Rani; and Appala Karthik.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Smart Uro-Belt is a wearable, non-invasive ultrasound-based bladder monitoring system designed for elderly and disabled individuals who lack the ability to independently sense bladder fullness. The system comprises an adjustable abdominal belt integrating a low-frequency ultrasound transducer, a pulser/receiver circuit, a highspeed ADC, and a Raspberry Pi embedded processor. The processor continuously estimates real-time bladder volume using an ellipsoid volumetric model derived from ultrasound echo time-of-flight measurements. When estimated volume reaches a programmable clinical threshold (default 300 mL), a dual alert mechanism is activated comprising local audible buzzer mounted on the belt and push notification transmitted to a companion mobile application (Android/iOS) via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. The mobile application provides real-time volume visualization, trend monitoring, voiding logs, and caregiver notification forwarding. The Smart Uro-Belt is battery-powered, portable, affordable, and safe for daily unattended use, bridging the gap between costly clinical bladder scanners and the continuous home-monitoring needs of vulnerable populations."
