Urinary symptom management

Abstract

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for predicting a urinary event of a patient. In one example, a system comprises a fluid consumption cup comprising one or more sensors. The system may comprise communication circuitry configured to receive, from the fluid consumption cup, one or more signals that indicate an amount of fluid removed from the fluid consumption cup. The system may comprise processing circuitry configured to: update a patient log based on the one or more signals that indicate the amount of fluid removed from the fluid consumption cup; determine that the urinary event is predicted to occur, the occurrence of the urinary event predicted based on the patient log; and provide, in response to the determination and for receipt by the patient, a notification that the urinary event is predicted to occur.
