This paper presents the design and development of a Smart Uro-Bag, an advanced, non-contact urine analysis system aimed at continuous and real-time health monitoring. The system integrates a chemically reactive urine test strip within a urine collection bag and employs a color sensor to detect colorimetric changes in the strip, which correspond to specific biomarkers related to kidney and bladder health. These color changes are captured by the sensor and interpreted using a microcontroller (ESP32), which processes the data and transmits it wirelessly via Bluetooth to a connected smartphone or monitoring system. The core objective is to provide a hygienic, contactless, and automated method for analyzing urine samples, particularly for elderly, immobile, or hospitalized patients. By reducing the need for manual intervention, the Smart UroBag enhances patient safety, improves diagnostic efficiency, and supports timely medical intervention. Its compact design, low cost, and ease of integration make it a promising tool for both home-based care and clinical environments. This solution bridges the gap between traditional urine analysis and smart healthcare, paving the way for next-generation biomedical monitoring tools.
