Abstract :
This paper presents a system which handles different pressure sensors. The purpose of the development is to measure pressure in the human bladder. The proposed measurement device monitors the pressure inside the bladder of the patient, and records the reaction of the bladder to the increased pressure. The device also measures the natural filling of the bladder for days; the results are then prepared for further evaluation by a physician. A PCB was realized that can handle different pressure sensors in order to differentiate between them. To display the pressure real-time a MATLAB based software was also developed.
