Our study was designed to develop a customisable, wearable, and comfortable medical device - the text so-called "MyPAD" that monitors the fullness of the bladder, triggering an alarm indicating the need to void, in order to prevent badwetting - i.e., treating Nocturnal Enuresis (NE) at the text pre-void stage using miniaturised mechatronics with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The developed features include: multiple bespoke ultrasound (US) probes for sensing, a bespoke electronic device housing custom US electronics for signal processing, a bedside alarm box for processing the echoed pulses and generating alarms, and a phantom to mimic the human body...
