Invention:
The invention is a smart pessary device designed to provide non-surgical support for pelvic organ prolapse and related conditions. It is embedded with real-time biosensors that continuously monitor vaginal pH, temperature, and hydration levels. This device also features a self-adjusting shape to ensure optimal fit and offers pelvic floor stimulation to support muscle strength and function. Additionally, it sends timely notifications via a mobile app to remind users to remove, clean, and replace the device, while providing real-time alerts to both users and healthcare providers to monitor for signs of infection, irritation, or ulceration.
Background:
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence are common conditions affecting women, especially after childbirth or during post-menopausal stages. Traditional pessaries provide support for prolapsed organs but lack the technological integration necessary to track health changes or provide proactive interventions. This invention incorporates biosensors into the pessary device, allowing for continuous monitoring and real-time health data tracking which enhances early detection of potential complications.
Applications:
- Pelvic organ prolapse (POP)
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic floor recovery (ex: post-pregnancy, post-surgery)
Advantages:
- Real-time health monitoring
- Self-adjusting fit
- AI integration
- Remote monitoring
- Enhanced comfort and convenience
- Notification systems for proactive healthcare and device maintenance
