3.1.1 Remote Control (LCD Screen)
A liquid crystal screen (LCD) was used because it consumes very little power, allowing
for long battery life. The LCD displays a numerical representation of bladder volume in
volume percent, a bar graph illustrating the volume percent of fluid in the bladder and
other text outputs for the patient. The LCD screen also has a calendar and time clock
which may be helpful for the patient in managing their voiding patterns. This design will
use Comfile CuTouch LCD screen (Comfile Technology, CA, USA). This LCD screen is
blue with white text and is capable of displaying graphics and characters. The LCD
screen is touch screen, which will enable the patient or caregiver to input any information
they would like to receive regarding the status of the bladder with minimal pressing
force. With the LCD screen the patient or caregiver will be able to visualize what is when
the bladder is contracting or relaxing as shown in the figures below.
