A team of Texas A&M biomedical engineering researchers have created a new wearable sensor that could help detect urinary tract infections earlier — and alert you from a smartphone. 📲

The device attaches to a catheter bag and monitors for E. coli, sending an alert to a phone when an infection is detected. This early detection can help reduce complications and give patients and care teams more time to respond.

The project was led by Dr. Hatice Ceylan Koydemir with contributions from graduate students Dr. Weiming Xu, Majed Althumayri and Azra Yaprak Tarman at the Center for Remote Health Technologies and Systems.
