Overview
Brief Summary
The study is seeking to understand the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners for an innovation in the way that changes in bladder function are assessed. This information will be used in the design and evaluation of a device, being developed in parallel, that assesses changes to the volume and flow of urine in order to determine changes in bladder function.
In order to ensure development is optimal, the principal research objective is therefore to understand the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners (ranging from care home staff and GPs in primary care, to urologists in tertiary referral centres).

Primary Outcomes
Understanding the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners for an innovation in the way that changes in bladder function are assessed.
Time Frame: November 2022 - February 2023
For \~45 participants for each of two categories, patients and healthcare practitioners, focus groups will chart the difficulties, needs, potential solutions, and concerns of all participants, as well as collect their input on the prototype that we are developing. Their responses will be coded, grouped, and summarised, to create a set of guidelines aiding the future development of solutions for urinary disorders.
