“…The femfit® has been used in university-based research studies worldwide, with positive preliminary feedback. [8][9][10] However, further investigation is required to ensure the femfit® is suitable for long-term home use. This study builds on previous findings using iterative design and refinement.…”

“…It is proposed that a mobile app, used alongside an intravaginal pressure sensor device (femfit®), that provides real‐time visual biofeedback, will guide women to effectively locate and exercise their PFM, and self‐guide through a training program. The femfit® has been used in university‐based research studies worldwide, with positive preliminary feedback 8–10 . However, further investigation is required to ensure the femfit® is suitable for long‐term home use.…”

The aim of this project was to use codesign to develop a mobile application (app) for pelvic floor muscle training, with an intravaginal device (femfit®). The objective was to obtain user feedback to guide the design and development of a mobile app, consistent with the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) framework. Methods: Twenty-six women (22-62 years) provided mobile app feedback using a Design Thinking framework and grounded theory approach. Four focus groups (2 h each) and two sets of one-to-one interviews (1 h each) were held from May 2018 to October 2019. The researchers debriefed the focus groups and interviews, and undertook analysis based on project objectives and key questions.Results: Recurring themes throughout the study aligned with sections of the MARS: (A) engagement (e.g., progress tracking), (B) functionality (e.g., intuitive interface), (C) aesthetics (e.g., smart graphics and colors), (D) information (e.g., clear, concise information). An internal preliminary assessment determined a MARS Quality Mean Score of 4.1 of 5 (engagement: 3.6 of 5; functionality: 4 of 5; aesthetics: 4.3 of 5: information: 4.4 of 5). Conclusions: The development of the mobile app is on track to meet MARS requirements, and to be a fun, motivating app for women. Future work is required to investigate its efficacy.

“…15,16 Further, pH measurement is often used in the monitoring of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after surgery. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] When abdominal pressure increases, it is usually accompanied by an increase in gastric acid, or increases the acidity in saliva; in other words, the pH in saliva will change. ACS refers to organ failure caused by a sharp increase in intra-abdominal pressure.…”

The highlight of in vivo or ex vivo measurement to monitor the pH value from blood or saliva is emerging in these years since changes in pH suggest that hidden diseases are about to occur. In this paper, we design and implement a SoC for pH measurement, and a dual offset cancelation technique in comparator featured with 150-uV input referred voltage and 1-GHz comparison bandwidth is verified. The SoC by utilizing proposed dual offset cancelation technique can sense 8 femto farad capacitance change in the deionized water, 12 femto farad change in the glucose liquid, and 14 femto farad in the 0.5% hydrochloric acid.The SoC for pH measurement is not only used to detect pH change in blood or saliva, but can also extend to wearable device to monitor human's biomarkers such as pH and Na+ in sweat to prevent the disease in advance.
