In 1982, as the incidence of incontinence was increasing and getting more medical attention, the science of urodynamics was still in an early stage. Because tests were quite lengthy and equipment was quite complicated to use, few urology centers wanted to invest the time, effort and money required to do urodynamics evaluations. Laborie saw that by using computers, many of these handicaps could be overcome. So in 1984, Laborie introduced the world to the very first computerized urodynamics processor ever produced.

At the same time, we were planning the future. And even before the full potential of Windows was recognized, we were programming our urodynamics software in Windows to make it easier for our customers to use.

Did luck have anything to do with our programming choice?

No. Our chief engineer already knew that Windows would be the vehicle of the future. However, he also knew that programming in Windows was much more difficult and time consuming than programming in DOS. Despite this fact, we supported his decision. The result: today, Laborie is the leader in Windows for urodynamics; our customers have recognized its superiority.

In addition to utilizing the latest advances in technology, our company works in concert with leading clinician-researchers, local universities and a team of 14 on-staff engineers. With these resources, Laborie brings to any project the talent and technical knowledge necessary to assure that our systems not only incorporate the most recent advancements, but also reflect the practical realities of the typical urology clinic.
