A device and method for monitoring condition of the patient's bladder urine distention level are presented. The device comprises a sensing unit and an indication unit. The sensing unit is attachable to a certain location on the patient's abdominal, and is of a kind transmitting acoustic signals substantially not exceeding 20kHz to the urine bladder through tissue, receiving signals reflected from the urine bladder, and generating data representative of the condition of the bladder urine distention. A processor is interconnected between the sensing and the indication units. The processor is responsive to the generated data for analyzing the same and selectively generating a signal indicative of the existence of a predetermined condition of the patient's bladder urine distention level. The indication unit is responsive to the signal indicative of the existence of the predetermined condition for generating an indication signal aimed at attracting the attention of an authorized person, for example the patient himself.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et une technique qui permettent de surveiller le degré de distension de la vessie chez un patient. Le dispositif comprend une unité de détection et une unité d'indication. L'unité de détection, qui peut être fixée sur l'abdomen du patient, transmet à la vessie, au travers des tissus, des signaux acoustiques ne dépassant sensiblement pas 20 kHz; elle reçoit les signaux réfléchis par la vessie et génère des données représentant le degré de distension de la vessie. Un processeur, interconnecté entre l'unité de détection et l'unité d'indication, analyse les données générées et produit sélectivement un signal indiquant l'existence chez le patient d'un degré prédéterminé de distension de la vessie. L'unité d'indication reçoit le signal indiquant l'existence dudit degré prédéterminé de distension et génère un signal d'indication ayant pour but d'attirer l'attention d'une personne autorisée, le patient lui-même par exemple.
