A single centre, Prospective, observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic versus paper-based bladder diaries in the clinical assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms.

This study aims to compare electronic bladder diaries (EBD) and paper bladder diaries (PBD) in assessing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility, user compliance, data completeness, and overall satisfaction of EBDs versus PBDs. Secondary objectives include comparing data accuracy, clinician ease-of-use, and patient preference between the two formats. This single-center, prospective, observational study will enroll participants aged 18 or older, with documented LUTS, who can use a smartphone and read/write in the study language. Over a period of four days, participants will complete both EBD and PBD, and data on voiding patterns, fluid intake, urgency, incontinence, and nocturia will be collected. The study will measure compliance, data quality, and user satisfaction to determine if EBD offers superior benefits in clinical utility compared to traditional PBDs
