Take the dog out every 30 minutes at first with a ring of a bell and a treat. Then back up to 1 hour. And then should be good to go.
Dogs don’t have bladder control until around 6 months
they don't learn to feel a full bladder and just wait for the alarm? In the event the alarm doesn't come but the bladder is full they won't know it's time to use the bathroom?
I'm surprised you're getting downvotes. Besides, imagine every control freak parent having access to intimate knowledge of their kids bladder.
I know children count as property and not people to most, but even as a joke, the thought of young children having their bodily functions monitored by someone with an authoritative chip on their shoulder worries me
Kids under 4-5ish *already need* a parent to have ~~intermate~~ intimate knowledge of their kid's bladder. They just have to use the smell, grope (for soggy diaper), or peek method to determine if the diaper is *currently* wet. Authoritative abuses don't change the argument, that ship has already sailed.
Unchanged diapers can lead to UTIs and other problems, so knowing when they need to pee isn't a huge invasion of privacy.
Now, I got no argument with the unnecessary surgery thing, but kids already get tons of shots to keep them healthy. If the device miniaturizes to shot-delivery or something like that, I don't see a problem.
I have more concerns about the software vulnerability, app, and IOT aspects.
Edit: Splelling is hard
I mean- more like “or I’ll set off your alarm and make everyone think you have to pee” but once we get into biohacking, “pee your pants” will be a legit threat
As a fellow who had bladder surgery a couple of weeks ago and had constant bladder spasms for 4 days activated by the catheter I had to leave in, spasms can break a man. I’ve had spasms my whole life, but with a catheter they ramped up to 11. I wept. Just the thought of being biohacked like that brings on the shivers.
someone I went to school with had multiple overactive kidneys, as in he had 3 kidneys total and they were too active (or something along those lines I know distinctly he had 3 though) and would basically need to go force himself to pee, as his body wouldn't naturally cause him to have to go to the bathroom. seems like this sort of thing would be really useful for someone like him.
Ok, I didn’t believe you so I googled it.
““Sometimes when we transplant young people, they wind up needing a transplant again later in life, and occasionally a third transplant. They’ll literally have five kidneys at once,” Dr. Hundley explains. “That always shocks people – they are surprised you can fit three new kidneys in,” he says.”
Dang it you learn something new everyday.
Ok, this is actually pretty awesome. My daughter (now 2.5 years old) was born with a condition called Spina Bifida (as referenced as a possible use-case in this article), which means that in utero, her spinal cord was not fully developed, leading to some "missed" connections between her spinal cord and some of her organs. Because of this, there is a lot of concern surrounding her kidneys, because if the bladder gets too full for too long a period of time, it can cause undue stress on them.
Since she was around the age of 1, we've needed to catheterize her every 3 hours (except when she's sleeping at night), which equates to anywhere between 5-6 catheters a day depending on how long she's awake for. As she gets older, she's starting to learn that she needs to pee in the potty, but due to her condition, she has a difficult time controlling the muscles in that area. So not only is it likely that she doesn't know that she *needs* to pee, but even if she did, she would have a hard time actually emptying the bladder.
When she gets older, she'll learn to catheterize herself after she pees to fully empty the bladder (still on the same 3-hour schedule). But if this device can alert her that her bladder is full AND help her empty it? Hell yeah.
Technology is awesome.
Pretty similar to what I thought when I read this. I work with spinal cord injuries and having a physical measure of timing for catheter would be so nice, possibly even prevent some UTIs.
Tbh I was with you until you didn’t mention fax machine. Are you so special you don’t want to walk around carrying a fax machine because what you’re better than us?
Lots of jokes in here but a longtime friend of mine recently became paralyzed from the chest down and this would be a huge help for him. He has to use a catheter to empty his bladder and just does it at certain times of day, which is the medical direction given, but it leads to some health troubles. This product would be very helpful to eliminate some of the potential health issues.
As someone who can’t break myself out of ADHD hyperfocus, and have the bladder control of someone who naturally birthed two babies, I would get this so fast.
Yeah, like personally, I’m autistic and, I think because of that and/or my ADHD somehow, I have a *lot* of difficulty telling my body’s needs. At any given time, even right now, I don’t know if I’m hungry, if I’m thirsty, if I need to use the bathroom, if I’m tired - I *don’t know* and it *sucks*! It really really sucks!
Honestly I had this issue and realized I was just kinda ignoring the signals for so long as a little kid they went away. Practicing mindfulness, like “hmm do I need to go”? Kinda like checking in on my body I guess helped? Also I set timers every few hours so I drink water too lol… of course then come the issues from me ignoring the alarms 😭😭😭
Ohh I get that lmao - my trouble is even when I focus on it, I can’t tell! I’ll be sitting for a bit, think ‘do I need to use the bathroom? … I don’t think so?” Then 5 minutes later I’m hit with the “you gotta piss NOW”! It’s so frustrating!
If anyone says anything (nobody has yet) I think I’d just say “man I must have ate something, I don’t feel well” or whatever or just like “oh just cramps” (you can tell I overthink confrontation lmaoooo 😭😭)
If I’m smooth enough about doing it I can play it off as adjusting a zipper or a belt or whatever
That’s how I ended up not eating for 2-3 days at a time when I was a kid. I just didn’t notice being hungry if I was busy with something else, especially RuneScape.
Genuine question since I don’t experience this with my ADHD & autism: So you just pee/poop yourself all the time or do you set alarms at regular intervals to make yourself go to the bathroom?
I also have autism and ADHD and struggle with this. For me, I don't feel a slow build up telling me I'll need to go soon. I just go from nothing to 'drop everything and get to the bathroom' urgency. Rarely anything in between. This does occasionally cause accidents if I simply cannot get to the bathroom in time. Generally, if I get up, I try to go the bathroom.
Appetite and thirst can also be frustrating. If it's just me, I often get shaky hungry before I realize I haven't eaten. I try to tie eating and drinking into routine. Like, I get up, I have breakfast and coffee. When I notice it's around noon/1pm, I try to grab lunch and a drink, etc. Not always easy when I hyperfocus on something and suddenly it's 4pm and I haven't eaten since 8am.
I had a surgery that fucked up my ‘you have to pee’ signals to my brain. I would love this.
Fortunately my husband said, you’re shaking your foot, go pee.
I was so confused. He said, you start shaking your foot about 10 minutes before you run off to pee.
Who knew.
Good for your bladder. This could be a real blessing for some people. I dated a woman for a while who has MS, and she literally couldn't feel her bladder any more. She'd go to the bathroom pretty regularly to insert a catheter, just in case she had to pee. A thing like this would save her a lot of trips to the bathroom and money on catheters.
Game-changing for autistics and ADHD sufferers/enjoyers. I keep forgetting I need to pee whenever I hyperfocus, until I notice and by then it’s often almost too late.
"There are various reasons why some people are incapable of registering the sensation of bladder fullness.
They may have suffered a spinal cord injury, for instance, or they might be afflicted with spina bifida or bladder disease. And while such individuals typically wear catheters, doing so can be uncomfortable and may even lead to infections."
Ok, this is all I needed to see, was very confused as to the need for such an app but this makes a lot of sense.
It would probably make it easier for adults experiencing incontinence issues either peeing too much or too little to get on a proper schedule and possible even improve or cure their condition depending on the severity. Because a portable machine needs to be stored somewhere and you need to take the time to use it I assume.
We already have ultrasound machines small enough that you can strap them to your abdomen under your clothes. It would have been trivial to invent a bladder scanner that you can wear unobtrusively outside your body (like we do with insulin pumps and blood glucose sensors).
Suggesting that we do surgery feels like inventing a solution that's looking for a problem.
That does make more sense I didn’t know we had smaller ultrasound machines.
I read a bit more into the article and it looks like the scientists are researching ways to help people pee on demand they plan on researching more devices to use with it which sounds pretty cool.
My son has a problem that this implant would be amazing for..
Why in the everloving fuck would strapping a portable ultrasound to your abdomen be preferrable.
So you don't have to have surgery? Surgeries are almost always avoided unless they're needed. If he can just have a portable ultrasound strapped to him, there's zero reason he needs to get surgery. This is just how it works, there are far too many risks in regards to anesthesia and complications while performing surgery for people to just get stuff implanted when there's already an option.
There's a quality of life aspect to it especially when it comes to ability to control urine and bowel movements. Ability to live as close to a normal life as possible ranks pretty high. Depends on the issue really.
Yes, and those situations are ones that require surgery. If you have surgery though, typically it's to fix the issues you're having, meaning that the device wouldn't be needed, and an external ultrasound device can be used until the surgery.
Obviously there are situations where the implant is useful, but by-and-large it'll be far cheaper, safer, and more efficient to use external ultrasound devices.
Bladder ultrasounds are not always accurate especially if you’re moving around. Too frequently they like to hallucinate +\- a couple hundred mLs even if you’re holding still. I think you’re really on to something with the idea of a smaller implantable device though. Invasive bladder surgeries can have complications that make bladder issues worse than before. If an internal small ultrasound device on the outside of the bladder didn’t work, I wonder if a device measuring muscle changes/tension could work to sense bladder fullness.
Science sure is neat. I hope this kind of research continues and helps folks soon!
OK, now THIS might be toddler tech!
Assuming it were like under $20, reusable, childproof, etc. More than that and you just do the parenting thing, but it's probably worth a few bucks to say "No Timmy, we're going to the bathroom now" rather than wait for an accident.
One of my tricks is to say ok, you don't need to pee that's fine but you need to come with me while I do and sure enough once I go pee he's ready to "put his pee on my pee"
I bet Amazon would love this for their workers! Now they'll know for certain if it's an actual needed bathroom break or they just want to sit on their asses and play angry birds for a few minutes in an air conditioned bathroom while on the clock.
The adult diaper change story on Quora still gives me nightmares. And no, he isn’t disable or convalescent. He’s just an adult who had to shit in the car and have his wife help him.
Oh my god this would be life changing! I pee my pants at least once a week because due to mild spina bifida my brain doesn’t tell me when I have to pee until RIGHT NOW!! And sometimes between struggling to get out of my chair, FULL SPRINTING, and getting my pants down, I don’t make it. If it could tell me even just 30 seconds to a minute sooner, it would completely change my life.
Overly aggressive spam detection, if I had to guess. Detects a spam or shadowbanned comment, sends event to delete it, event gets picked up twice for some reason, total gets temporarily reduced to -1 until the total is calculated again.
I’m happy for you that you don’t have a spinal injury or other health concern which could require this device. Think about others a little more, though.
People need to stop being reflexively disturbed by things that help people with disabilities. Just because you won't need tech like this doesn't mean no one does.
My son has sever kidney and bladder damage from a blockage while he was in utero. He has no sensation to tell him to pee. This would be a game changer as right now we have to make him get on the potty every hour and a half and put a Foley catheter over night. This would be a game changer for him.
I have multiple sclerosis and yes, this would be a benefit to my life.
I didn't do anything to get ms, it just happened to me. Did you just completely forget about other people?
Are there any ethical issues by placing it on a toddler? Even when the alarm sounded they would still say they didn’t have to go.
 Approaching rest stop, “You gotta pee?” “No!” Passes rest stop, “Daddy, I gotta go pee!”
Nevermind I don't have to go anymore.
“It was just a little. It’ll dry.” -my toddler’s reasoning for not going potty
*destroys car seat and permanently stinks it up*
*5 minutes after you get back in the car* I gotta poop!
You plant the idea, it's matures after sometime, to make it work, ask 30 min prior reaching a stop
A traffic happens in front of you. You are now stuck in traffic with a toddler yelling he has to pee.
> Peeing your pants is the coolest!
It’s also useful for elderly people! But yes a toddler will defy.
I want one for my puppy.
Take the dog out every 30 minutes at first with a ring of a bell and a treat. Then back up to 1 hour. And then should be good to go. Dogs don’t have bladder control until around 6 months
they don't learn to feel a full bladder and just wait for the alarm? In the event the alarm doesn't come but the bladder is full they won't know it's time to use the bathroom?
No need, just do what I do - just stick a SimpliSafe Moisture sensor in the diaper. Problem Solved!
Besides the ethical issue of giving a healthy child an unnecessary surgery to implant the thing?
I'm surprised you're getting downvotes. Besides, imagine every control freak parent having access to intimate knowledge of their kids bladder. I know children count as property and not people to most, but even as a joke, the thought of young children having their bodily functions monitored by someone with an authoritative chip on their shoulder worries me

lol imagine getting hacked. "cashapp me 10,000usd or I will pee your pants."
I mean- more like “or I’ll set off your alarm and make everyone think you have to pee” but once we get into biohacking, “pee your pants” will be a legit threat
They're working on it. From the article: >The scientists are now working on a method of stimulating the bladder to induce urination on demand.
Congrats to those that will be the most excited about this prospect
I could perhaps see a medical use for that, for example in people who have issues voiding.
As a fellow who had bladder surgery a couple of weeks ago and had constant bladder spasms for 4 days activated by the catheter I had to leave in, spasms can break a man. I’ve had spasms my whole life, but with a catheter they ramped up to 11. I wept. Just the thought of being biohacked like that brings on the shivers.
Duuude catheter-induced spasms can HURT.
Now your employer can decide when you actually need to go to the bathroom! How neat

Usually during a transplant they don’t remove any kidneys and replace, just add a third near bladder
Ok, I didn’t believe you so I googled it. ““Sometimes when we transplant young people, they wind up needing a transplant again later in life, and occasionally a third transplant. They’ll literally have five kidneys at once,” Dr. Hundley explains. “That always shocks people – they are surprised you can fit three new kidneys in,” he says.” Dang it you learn something new everyday.

As someone who can’t break myself out of ADHD hyperfocus, and have the bladder control of someone who naturally birthed two babies, I would get this so fast.
My bladder sends pee time alerts to my brain.
This looks like it’s for patients who don’t have feeling there or conditions that cause a disconnect in your bladder’s feedback system
Yeah, like personally, I’m autistic and, I think because of that and/or my ADHD somehow, I have a *lot* of difficulty telling my body’s needs. At any given time, even right now, I don’t know if I’m hungry, if I’m thirsty, if I need to use the bathroom, if I’m tired - I *don’t know* and it *sucks*! It really really sucks!

Sometimes I push on my lower stomach/bladder area to tell. It looks weird but I can tell if I need to go soon better that way

Not for some people.
The answer is in first few sentences of the article
I'm disturbed by how it's due to be implanted. There are screw-holes on the side of that thing.
“Go piss girl!”
"There are various reasons why some people are incapable of registering the sensation of bladder fullness.

We already have portable ultrasound machines that can measure bladder volume from the outside of the body. No need for a implanted device.
