A Point-Of-Care Urine Osmometer for Nocturia Evaluation
Nocturia is a common urinary complaint where one experience interruption of sleep with one or more times at night to void. The current assessment of nocturia is primarily clinical and relies mainly on patients documenting their own bladder diary to complete a Frequency-Volume Chart (FVC) of volume and times of urination between a 24-to-72-hour period. This conventional way of assessment is a manual and inadequate way of diagnosing nocturia. An individual is diagnosed with nocturnal polyuria if the total urine output at night exceeds one-third of total daily output. This technology has developed a point-of-care urine osmometer for the monitoring and profiling of day- and night-time variation in urine osmolality, providing clinicians with valuable insights to facilitate more accurate, objective diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for nocturia. This device is portable and attached with a readout sensor, designed to be user friendly. The technology owner is seeking collaborations with: Medical Institutions and Healthcare Providers: To facilitate clinical validation, implementation, and integration of the portable urine osmometer into routine diagnostic practices for nocturia and other related conditions. Device Manufacturers: To miniaturize the prototype, scale up production, ensure quality control, and help bring the device to market. Research Institutes: To collaborate on further R&D , particularly in optimizing the technology and exploring additional applications, such as hydration monitoring for athletes and military personnel. Data Analytics Partners: To develop advanced software and algorithms for precise data interpretation, which can enhance the device’s diagnostic capabilities and provide more personalized treatment options. Current state-of-the-art for urine osmolality measurement uses a freezing point osmometer, which is often bulky, expensive, and requires specialized training to operate. To address these limitations, a portable urine osmometer that uses impedance measurement coupled with refractive index measurement and activated carbon absorption was developed. This innovative approach provides a quick and accurate measurement of urine osmolality. In a clinical trial involving 225 urine samples, an accuracy of 94.4 ± 5.0% was achieved, comparable to the gold standard freezing point osmometer. The device's compact design allows for easy home use, making it ideal for patients with nocturia to monitor their condition without frequent clinic visits. The current pain point in diagnosing and managing nocturia lies in the absence of an objective and quantitative method. Current clinical diagnosis relies heavily on a cumbersome 3-day bladder diary, which is insufficient but also results in inaccuracies and poor patient compliance. Consequently, urologists are left with the challenging task of providing a diagnosis for the underlying cause of nocturia which may lead to a trial-and-error approach on the medications prescribed. This results in suboptimal management of the condition, leading to unresolved patient discomfort and dissatisfaction. The proposed solution aims to revolutionize the approach to diagnosing and treating nocturia by introducing a portable point-of-care device for urine osmolality profiling. The portable urine osmometer is not only useful for diagnosing nocturia but has potential applications in assessing, monitoring hydration status and renal function in various populations, particularly in athletes, elderly, and military personnel. The market potential for portable urine osmometer, particularly in addressing nocturia, is significant. The global market for nocturia-related drugs is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%, highlighting the increasing demand for effective nocturia management solutions. Given the high prevalence of nocturia, with approximately 1 in 10 people experiencing moderate to severe symptoms, and the current limitations of diagnostic methods, there are substantial opportunities for a portable urine osmometer. This device offers a cost-effective and accessible alternative to the traditional freezing point osmometer. This technology offers a more precise measurement in assisting physicans on the diagnosis for nocturnal polyuria and providing significant improvement to patient protocol. Besides that, the technology enhances several UVP over the conventional methodology which includes: Providing a comprehensive day and night urine osmolality profile in a home setting with an objective and quantitative readout over the current reliance on subjective bladder diaries.  Compared to existing devices in the market, this device has a much smaller footprint than a laboratory based freezing point osmometer. The device is simple to use and enables a cheaper manufacturing cost. It has a short turnaround time with a 3-minutes readout duration.  An affordable consumer device as the consumable per test is a plastic container pre-filled with activated carbon and a disposable urine container.  Urine, Osmolality, Osmometer, Nocturia, Nocturnal Polyuria, Urine Concentration Healthcare, Diagnostics, Medical Devices

Automated Guided Wave Ultrasonic Imaging for Continuous Pipeline Health Monitoring
To ensure safe and cost-effective operations across various industries, it is essential to identify potential pipeline damage early to prevent leaks. This includes monitoring changes in wall thickness to estimate corrosion rates and alerting operators with advanced warning signals about possible corrosion, allowing for rectification before leaks occur. Conventional thickness evaluation processes require manually scanning pipelines using probes, a method that is tedious and challenging, especially in remote locations. Additionally, the high upfront costs (approximately 75%) of traditional non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods are often incurred before each pipeline thickness measurement. These costs can be even higher if the pipelines are in inaccessible or harsh environments. To address these challenges, an innovative guided wave monitoring system has been developed, which can be permanently installed at critical points along the pipeline network. This system continuously monitors pipeline wall thickness and assesses potential corrosion damage. Compared to other NDE techniques, it accurately measures corrosion rates, sends early warning signals when wall thickness falls below a critical threshold, and significantly reduces the costs associated with setting up measurement equipment in difficult-to-access environments. The developed solution utilises guided wave tomography, which offers good potential to monitor the thickness of corrosion patches without requiring access to the entire surface. It uses the dispersion characteristics of guided waves and reconstructs a thickness map by inverting ultrasonic signals captured by a transducer array positioned around the inspection area. A novel guided wave tomography method based on full waveform inversion (FWI) is applied to the developed solution for corrosion mapping. It uses a forward solver to predict the scattering of guided wave through defects in the acoustic model, and an iterative inverse model to reconstruct the corrosion profile. At each iteration, numerical modeling is performed to minimize the least-squares residual between the modeled and observed data. This approach overcomes the limitations of ignoring crucial low-frequency effects in travel-time tomography and accounts for higher-order diffraction and scattering in its numerical solver, providing more accurate inversion results. The guided wave tomography method based on FWI is first applied to measure defects at an accelerated corrosion site. The reconstructed thickness map is compared with measurements from a laser profilometer. The technique is also used to predict the corrosion rate, which can then be compared with predictions from Faraday's Law. This guided wave monitoring system can be deployed in the oil and gas industry, where pipeline integrity is crucial to prevent gas leaks and failures. It also has applications in other industries, such as chemical manufacturing, water supply, power generation, and mining, where corrosion and leaks pose risks to safety and efficiency. Key applications include remote monitoring of pipelines in harsh environments, corrosion detection, and early leak prevention. This technology eliminates the need for manual inspections in difficult-to-access areas, making it ideal for offshore platforms and desert pipelines. Marketable products from this technology include permanently installed corrosion monitoring devices, real-time integrity monitoring systems, and early warning systems for gas leaks. Additionally, data analytics platforms could be developed to track corrosion rates, predict future wear, and optimize maintenance schedules. This innovation can significantly enhance safety, reduce inspection costs, and improve operational efficiency across various industries where pipeline integrity is essential. This guided wave monitoring system improves upon current state-of-the-art pipeline inspection technologies by offering: Continuous, real-time monitoring of pipeline wall thickness and corrosion rates.  Eliminates the need for labor-intensive and costly manual inspections.  Provides accurate, real-time corrosion data.  Reduces operational costs.  Enhances safety in pipeline monitoring.  Ideal for industries with complex and hard-to-reach pipeline networks.
