Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) comprehends a series of symptoms that affect both storage and voiding phase of micturition. The pressure-flow study is a widespread test used to diagnose LUTS but it is invasive, expensive and time-consuming. There have been many reports about the development of alternative tools and, more recently, devices for home use. Our goal is to develop and evaluate the use, usability, and clinical value of an app-based uroflowmetry system that patients could potentially take home, enabling flow to be measured noninvasively and more frequently.
