People living with urinary drainage need practical collection options. Connected measurements may support follow-up, but drainage safety still depends on a closed system, unobstructed flow and correct positioning.
THE GOMIDA APPROACH
The design approach
Gomida describes a discreet wearable collection system, with a connected variant combining MEMS sensing, Bluetooth and an app. The intended information includes urine volume, flow and alerts.
Wearable format
A collection concept focused on day-to-day discretion and usability.
Connected variant
Sensing and app connectivity intended to make drainage information easier to review.
Care-team follow-up
A development focus on useful information beyond a single clinical visit.
EVIDENCE & CURRENT STATUS
A product concept with a related patent.
Gomida cites US12419777B2, an ergonomic urine-collecting-device patent granted in September 2025. The record describes a pouch, level sensing and haptic alerts. A patent is not evidence of clinical performance or regulatory clearance.
The public patent record names Anil Mandhani as inventor and lists an individual assignee. Ownership by Gomida is not established here. Gomida's public product page does not provide completed clinical validation of monitoring accuracy.

Which drainage route and collection configuration is supported?
How will sensor accuracy, alert thresholds and usability be validated?
How are connectivity loss, cleaning, battery life and patient data handled?
A FEW CLEAR ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Does connected monitoring replace routine catheter care?+
No. CDC guidance on closed drainage, unobstructed flow and keeping the collection bag below the bladder still applies. An app is not a substitute for care instructions or clinical review.
Are the monitoring features clinically validated?+
Completed clinical validation was not available in the public material reviewed. Ask for the evidence and regulatory status of the exact configuration before clinical use.
Can a hospital discuss a pilot?+
Contact the Gomida team to discuss evaluation requirements. Any pilot needs appropriate device status, clinical oversight, data safeguards and applicable approvals.
