Abstract
A wearable bladder monitoring device is disclosed and includes a fastener for securing the device to a subject's body; a phased array of ultrasound transducers having configurable output frequencies; a configurable phased array controller adapted to control the phased array to direct ultrasound beams into the subject's body under a plurality of discrete beam angles and to collect echo signals of the ultrasound beams, wherein the phased array controller is adapted to direct a set of ultrasound beams into the subject's body for at least a subset of the discrete beam angles in response to a configuration instruction defining the respective output frequencies of the ultrasound beams in the set; and a device transceiver for communicating data pertaining to the echo signals to a remote device to facilitate the remote processing of the data and to receive the configuration instruction from the remote device.
