Disclosed are automated urinary output ('UO')-measuring systems and methods. An automated UO-measuring system can include a container configured to collect a fluid such as urine. The container can include a console, one or more ultrasonic sensors coupled to the console for determining a fluid level within the container, one or more accelerometers coupled to the console for determining a near-zero acceleration state of the container for the determining of the fluid level within the container, and a valve configured to pass fluid therethrough by way of a fluid line coupled to the valve. The automated UO-measuring system can also include a container holder. The container holder can have a pocket for holding the container and a sleeve for securing the container to a user. A method of the automated UO-measuring system can include a method of using the automated UO-measuring system to collect and measure urine output of the user.

Automated urinary output-measuring systems and methods

Disclosed herein is an automated urinary output measuring system. The automated urinary output measuring system includes an automated urinary output measuring device configured to be suspended from a rim of a sanitary hardware device and receive a volume of voided urine. The automated urinary output measuring device can include a receiving trough having an opening, a door configured to cover the opening in a fluid tight seal, the door coupled to the receiving trough by a hinge, and a lip extending from the receiving trough configured to detachably couple the automated urinary output measuring device to the sanitary hardware device. The system can further include an ultrasonic measuring system having a console coupled to one or more ultrasonic sensors, and a flushing mechanism coupled to the sanitary hardware device.
