Abstract
Urine output is deemed very important by Physicians for diagnosis of many diseases like Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) etc. Until now, in hospitals, urine output is measured using a container having the measurement scale on it from which the nursing staff notes down the readings hourly. This is a very time consuming practice and may have adverse effect on the diagnosis process. In this paper, we first highlight the need of automated urine output measurement systems. Then, we critically evaluate the current systems developed for solving the automation problem of urine output measurement. Furthermore, we depict the concept of an integrated system for urine measurement and highlight the challenges that may be faced when developing a system for urine measurement. Finally, we give our suggestions for effective development of fully integrated system for automatic urine measurement.
