Description
Ziqi Li, Cong Pu, Ting Zhang, and Chang Peng build a stick-on ultrasound patch that watches bladder fullness nonstop, in a 2026 paper. Bladder checks today need a trained hand to sweep a probe, which gives snapshots, not a live trace. Their patch crosses three probe strips in a plus shape, firing in turns to see the bladder from two planes. Software stitches the views and outlines the bladder on its own.
A gel layer keeps the patch coupled to skin without hands. On a lab phantom the patch's volume guess landed close to the true fill and near a shop probe's reading. In ten healthy volunteers it also tracked the shop probe well. The authors say a wearable trace could change care for people who cannot feel or empty the bladder.
