Bright Uro

A big milestone this week — Urology Partners of North Texas and Dr. Keith Xavier completed their first Glean cases using the new Abdominal Sensor.

Six cases in a single day, and the team was up and running immediately. That's what we're building toward: a system staff can adopt without disruption, test output that's simple to interpret, and physiologic data captured reliably every time.

From Dr. Keith Xavier:
"All six Glean cases went very smoothly today. It's very satisfying when a new technology delivers on the expected benefits. In this case, physiologic data capture, streamlined workflow and thorough, reliable data for analysis. All delivered. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about Glean with the new Abdominal Sensor."

Dr. Xavier and his team are showing what urodynamics looks like when the data, the workflow, and the team all move together.

Congratulations to Dr. Brian J. Flynn, MD and the UCHealth team for completing their first Glean cases!

“Traditional urodynamics can be difficult for everybody—the nurse, the physician, and especially the patient. I am excited about the potential for Glean. After completing these cases, I see it making a meaningful difference in the overall experience for everyone while capturing continuous, natural-state ambulatory data using wireless technology. There is no going back to the old way of doing urodynamics”- Dr. Flynn

Every case like this moves the field a step further — for the physicians and nurses running these studies, and for the patients who have put off care because of what urodynamics has always required of them.

Thank you to Dr. Flynn and his team for being a part of revolutionizing urodynamics.

September is Urology Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness of bladder health and the conditions that impact millions of people every day.

1 in 4 adults are affected by bladder problems.¹⁻⁴

Despite how common these conditions are, bladder health can still be difficult to discuss. Greater awareness can help encourage more informed conversations, earlier evaluation, and continued advancement in how urologic conditions are understood, diagnosed, and managed.

This month, we recognize the patients, clinicians, researchers, and innovators working to advance urologic health and improve the standard of care.

Congratulations to the Mount Sinai Medical Center urology team on their first Glean cases!

Mount Sinai is now performing urodynamics wirelessly and catheter-free. Dr. Michaela Sljivich and Dr. George Wayne, M.D. led their team through training and the first studies, and their reaction is about the best we could have hoped for:

Dr. Sljivich: "Glean is 100% better than conventional urodynamics! I will be using Glean for all of my urodynamics going forward."

Dr. Wayne: "A much more natural study and much easier for patients than conventional urodynamics."

Thank you to the whole Mount Sinai team for helping move urodynamics forward. We look forward to expanding to more of their clinic sites in the months ahead.

🎉 Big milestone in the New York City area! @columbiaurology has performed the 1st Glean® Urodynamics in the NYC area. Congratulations to @mrwailee @GMBadalato Dr George Moran & Abby Ringen, RN to offer this wireless, catheter-free approach to ambulatory urodynamic testing.
"Patient anxiety can be high when counseling about urodynamics. If we can alleviate their concerns by offering a less invasive test while still yielding high quality functional data on the bladder, everybody wins." Dr. Wai Lee, Division Chair of Urogynecology & Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery at Columbia University Urology.
We're thankful for the support of @EzraMargolin, @alukal , @DrGreg_MD, @K8ysu,@MaxDSandler, Genesis Hernandez, RN who helped make this day a success!

As a top referral destination for complex urologic care, Columbia is setting a new standard for patient comfort and diagnostic precision in the region.
