The Challenge:
Meadowbrook Care Home, a 60-bed residential facility specializing in elderly care, struggled with managing urinary retention among residents. Many residents had cognitive impairment or communication difficulties, making it challenging to identify bladder problems before they became acute. The facility experienced frequent emergency department transfers for urinary retention, causing resident distress and significant costs. Staff lacked objective tools to assess bladder function, relying primarily on resident complaints and physical examination, which often detected problems only after they had become severe.

The Challenge:
Harley Street Urology Clinic, a prestigious private urology practice in central London, sought to differentiate itself through superior patient experience while maintaining the highest diagnostic standards. The clinic's clientele expected minimal discomfort, rapid assessment, and cutting-edge technology. Traditional bladder assessment methods, while accurate, were perceived as invasive and uncomfortable by patients. The clinic needed a solution that would provide precise measurements while aligning with patient expectations for modern, non-invasive care. Additionally, the clinic's multiple consultation rooms required flexible equipment that could move seamlessly between locations.

The Challenge:
West Yorkshire Community Healthcare Trust operates across 12 community hospitals and surgical centers, providing day surgery and post-operative care for a population of 850,000. Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) represented a significant challenge, affecting 15-20% of surgical patients and causing delayed discharges, patient discomfort, and increased costs. The Trust needed a cost-effective solution that could be deployed across multiple sites, used by staff with varying experience levels, and integrated into existing post-operative care protocols. Budget constraints required a solution that delivered clinical benefits while remaining affordable for widespread implementation.
