Summary

Urinary diaries have proven to be beneficial in assessing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), however they have not achieved widespread acceptance. The likely reason is the fact that the pen and paper diaries are labor intensive for both patient (need to carry a pen and paper and record each event) and doctor (need to transfer, summarize and analyze the data).

Hypothesis: Electronic voiding diary, would automate the recording and analysis of data, expedite the process, improve its accuracy and cost effectiveness.

Electronic recording of lower urinary tract symptoms (SUF) uses wireless phone and web based technologies to record LUTS remotely and store the data on a secure website which can be accessed by the doctor or patient whenever needed. The goal of this study was to compare its validity and reliability to the traditional micturition chart (MC) recording method - the current gold standard where the patient records the time of micturition and degree of urgency using a pen and paper.
