dc.description.abstractWe present AutoFlow, a Raspberry Pi-based acoustic platform that uses machine learning to autonomously detect and record voiding events. Uroflowmetry, a noninvasive diagnostic test for urinary tract function. Current uroflowmetry tests are not suitable for continuous health monitoring in a nonclinical environment because they are often distressing, costly, and burdensome for the public. To address these limitations, we developed a low-cost platform easily integrated into daily home routines. Using an acoustic dataset of home bathroom sounds, we trained and evaluated five machine learning models. The Gradient Boost model on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W achieved 95.63% accuracy and 0.15-second inference time. AutoFlow aims to enhance personalized healthcare at home and in areas with limited specialist access.en
