Aims of the study:
- Investigate issues of difficulties in use
- Establish usefulness of measured parameters: min/max/ave flow; time between visits; volume per hour between visits; and volume per 24 hours
- Examine long term efficacy
- Examine accuracy against urodynamic measurements
- Explore utility to NHS and if any additional features would provide greater value
- Examine statistical significance of sporadic measurement
- Identify conditions that could benefit from long-term monitoring
Proposed method:
- Collaborate with Consultant Urologists
- Provide a cohort of 100 men with free access to the PQtap app
- Request flow monitoring for 60 days
- Undertake urodynamic flow test at intervals to validate PQtap accuracy
- Obtain results
- Analyse results
- Draw conclusions
- Recommend improvements
Output:
- Write-up and submission of paper for Urology Journal
