SENS-U: continuous home monitoring of natural nocturnal bladder filling in children with nocturnal enuresis – a feasibility study

Enuresis is a common problem in children. One treatment option is a wetting alarm which provides an alarm when incontinence occurs. A drawback of this approach is that the child is still awaken by wet sheets. Recently, a wearable, wireless ultrasonic bladder sensor became available, the SENS-U, which has the potential to prevent the enuretic event by waking up the child before the bladder is full. In this first feasibility study, the aim is to perform a night-time, home-based evaluation of the SENS-U in children with monosymptomatic enuresis (MNE).
