摘要
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in many areas of healthcare, including disease diagnosis and personalized treatment and rehabilitation management. Medical AI research and development has primarily focused on diagnosis, prediction, treatment, and management as an aid to patient care. AI is being utilized primarily in the areas of personal healthcare and diagnostic imaging. In the field of urology, significant investments are being made in the development of urination monitoring systems in the field of personal healthcare and ureteral stricture and urinary stone diagnosis solutions in the field of diagnostic imaging. In addition, AI technology is also being applied in the field of neurogenic bladder to develop risk monitoring systems based on video and audio data. This paper examines the application of AI to urological diseases and discusses the current trends and future prospects of AI research.

Purpose@#In this paper, we present the development of a monitoring system designed to aid in the management and prevention of conditions related to urination. The system features an artificial intelligence (AI)-based recognition technology that automatically records a user’s urination activity. Additionally, we developed a technology that analyzes movements to prevent neurogenic bladder. @*Methods@#Our approach included the creation of AI-based recognition technology that automatically logs users’ urination activities, as well as the development of technology that analyzes movements to prevent neurogenic bladder. Initially, we employed a recurrent neural network model for the urination activity recognition technology. For predicting the risk of neurogenic bladder, we utilized convolutional neural network (CNN)-based AI technology. @*Results@#The performance of the proposed system was evaluated using a study population of 30 patients with urinary tract dysfunction, who collected data over a 60-day period. The results demonstrated an average accuracy of 94.2% in recognizing urinary tract activity, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the recognition technology. Furthermore, the motion analysis technology for preventing neurogenic bladder, which also employed CNN-based AI, showed promising results with an average accuracy of 83%. @*Conclusions@#In this study, we developed a urination disease monitoring system aimed at predicting and managing risks for patients with urination issues. The system is designed to support the entire care cycle of a patient by leveraging AI technology that processes various image and signal data. We anticipate that this system will evolve into digital treatment products, ultimately providing therapeutic benefits to patients.
摘要
Purpose@#Prior research has indicated that stroke can influence the symptoms and presentation of neurogenic bladder, with various patterns emerging, including abnormal facial and linguistic characteristics. Language patterns, in particular, can be easily recognized. In this paper, we propose a platform that accurately analyzes the voices of stroke patients with neurogenic bladder, enabling early detection and prevention of the condition. @*Methods@#In this study, we developed an artificial intelligence-based speech analysis diagnostic system to assess the risk of stroke associated with neurogenic bladder disease in elderly individuals. The proposed method involves recording the voice of a stroke patient while they speak a specific sentence, analyzing it to extract unique feature data, and then offering a voice alarm service through a mobile application. The system processes and classifies abnormalities, and issues alarm events based on analyzed voice data. @*Results@#In order to assess the performance of the software, we first obtained the validation accuracy and training accuracy from the training data. Subsequently, we applied the analysis model by inputting both abnormal and normal data and tested the outcomes. The analysis model was evaluated by processing 30 abnormal data points and 30 normal data points in real time. The results demonstrated a high test accuracy of 98.7% for normal data and 99.6% for abnormal data. @*Conclusions@#Patients with neurogenic bladder due to stroke experience long-term consequences, such as physical and cognitive impairments, even when they receive prompt medical attention and treatment. As chronic diseases become increasingly prevalent in our aging society, it is essential to investigate digital treatments for conditions like stroke that lead to significant sequelae. This artificial intelligence-based healthcare convergence medical device aims to provide patients with timely and safe medical care through mobile services, ultimately reducing national social costs.

Purpose@#There are various neurogenic bladder patterns that occur in patients during stroke. Among these patterns, the focus was mainly on the patient’s facial parsy diagnosis. Stroke requires early response, and it is most important to identify initial symptoms such as facial parsy. There is an urgent need for a diagnostic technology that notifies patients and caregivers of the onset of disease in the early stages of stroke. We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) stroke early-stage analysis software that can alert the early stage of stroke through analysis of facial muscle abnormalities for the elderly neurogenic bladder prevention. @*Methods@#The method proposed in this paper developed a learning-based deep learning analysis technology that outputs the initial stage of stroke after acquiring a high-definition digital image and then deep learning face analysis. The applied AI model was applied as a multimodal deep learning concept. The system is linked and integrated with the existing urine management integrated system to support patient management with a total-care concept. @*Results@#We developed an AI stroke early-stage analysis software that can alert the early stage of stroke with 86% hit performance through analysis of facial muscle abnormalities in the elderly. This result shows the validation result of the landmark image learning model based on the distance learning model. @*Conclusions@#We developed an AI stroke early-stage diagnostic system as a wellness personal medical service plan and prevent cases of missing golden time when existing stroke occurs. In order to secure and facilitate distribution of this, it was developed in the form of AI analysis software so that it can be mounted on various hardware products. In the end, it was found that using AI for these stroke diagnoses and making them quickly and accurately had a positive effect indirectly, if not directly, on the neurogenic bladder.
