Summary
This study explores whether wearable bladder devices can help monitor and treat bladder problems in postpartum women and men after prostate surgery. Researchers will test a wearable ultrasound and an intravaginal exerciser to see if they provide useful data for patients and therapists. The goal is to improve care by allowing remote tracking between clinic visits. About 25 participants will be enrolled.
