Novioscan

More than 7 million children between the age of 6 and 12 are dealing with urinary incontinence in the Western world. Current continence training methods are not sufficient. Novioscan developed a solution to improve training effectiveness: the Urika Bladder Monitor (UBM).

The UBM is a small wearable device that provides warning when the bladder is nearly full. UBM helps children to stay dry during day and night and will improve the effectiveness of continence training by teaching the child the sensation of a full bladder.

The bladder monitor is based on ultrasound technology and has been developed in cooperation with UMC Utrecht. Several prominent European university clinics have expressed keen interest in applying the UBM in their practice.

After 4 years of development Novioscan launched the SENS-U KIDS in 2018 and made it available for the treatment of children in the age of 6-12 years. The SENS-U supports people who do not sense a full bladder. The KIDS version is currently available in Europe. The next generation of the SENS-U will be intended for people of all ages dealing with incontinence and who need support with bladder management.

Novioscan was acquired by Essity in 2020.
