1. A body fluid movement systems; comprising:
a body fluid movement apparatus with a lumen, a proximal end, a distal end and a balloon coupled to proximal end, balloon configured to be positioned in an interior of a bladder, proximal end configured to provide flow of urine from the bladder through the lumen;
a drainage bag configured for collecting the urine from the bladder through the lumen, the drainage bag having an inlet port for a body fluid and an outlet port for draining the urine from drainage bag;
a body fluid tube including the proximal end, the proximal end having a plurality of draining holes that receive the urine from the bladder and allow it to be transported to and through the body fluid tube;
one or more sensors included in the body fluid movement apparatus, the one or more sensors positioned to be in contact with a patient's urine prior to urine collection in the drainage bag, the one or more sensors producing sensor information that is used for predictive analysis of a patient's health from the patients urine analysis;
a patient remote monitoring system coupled to the body fluid movement system, the patient remote monitoring system including a computing device, a data storage device and a memory, the patient remote monitoring system configured to receive and process the sensor information for urine analysis and provide or determine one or more of: a diagnostic aid in dehydration, urinary tract infections, disorders of a urinary tract, kidney and metabolic disorders, cancers of kidneys and adjacent structures, and diagnose and monitor progression of diabetes, the computing device including a logic subsystem and a storage subsystem, the logic subsystem including one or more processors configured to execute software instructions in response to the sensor information, the storage sub-system configured to hold instructions executable by the logic subsystem relative to urine analysis and provide or determine one or more of: a diagnostic aid in dehydration, urinary tract infections, disorders of a urinary tract, kidney and metabolic disorders, cancers of kidneys and adjacent structures, and diagnose and monitor progression of diabetes; and
a network architecture coupling the one or more sensors to the patient remote monitoring system.
