Description

Crane and a large team model how body shape affects bladder monitoring by bioimpedance, in work from 2025. A wearable that tracks bladder fullness through skin electrodes must work across waistlines and fat layers, which vary widely. Fifteen virtual anatomies were simulated to see how waist size and fat thickness bend the two key electrical signals.

With simple anatomical scaling as an input, shared models came within ten percent of models tuned per patient, and some layouts beat the tuned ones by cutting error over twenty percent. Skipping per-patient calibration would remove the chore of collecting voided volumes, the authors note, and speed real-world fitting.
