- the present invention provides a method for analyzing the physiological phenomenon of an intractable bladder model by integrating a sensor capable of evaluating mechanical and electrical properties in a hydrogel with biocompatibility and adhesive properties, and Provides a system.
- the material used as a bioimplantable sensor to analyze and control the physiological phenomenon of the bladder which was reported in Non-Patent Document 1, a prior art, is a silicone-based material (silicone rubber). These materials have a hydrophobic surface, and their mechanical properties (Young's modulus: several MPa ⁇ several GPa) are very different from those of living organs (a few Pa ⁇ several KPa), and have no functional groups that can attach to the surface of living organs, so they have adhesive properties. This has a bad drawback. Therefore, due to the disadvantage, an additional fixation system is required to attach the bio-implantable sensor, which can analyze physiological phenomena, to the surface of the organ.
- the problem is that when using such a fixation system, it is easily peeled off from the biological surface and an air layer is formed, which reduces the reliability of the sensor signal, and has the disadvantage of requiring a new design of the fixation base for use in various organs.
- the sensor according to the present invention includes a strain sensor that measures contraction and relaxation, and an EMG sensor that measures the bioelectricity of the nerve signal that causes detrusor muscle export. Therefore, a single sensor can measure both strain and EMG signals from the bladder by stably attaching to bladder tissue, thereby monitoring neural activity for more comprehensive and accurate urination detection.
