The disclosure describes an implantable bladder sensor that is attachable to an exterior surface of a urinary bladder to sense bladder condition or activity. The sensor may include a strain gauge that detects mechanical deformation of the bladder. Mechanical deformation may be indicative of a gradual filling of the bladder, or an instantaneous contraction indicating an imminent urine voiding event. Wireless telemetry circuitry within the sensor transmits information to implanted electrical stimulator that delivers electrical stimulation for alleviating urinary incontinence, or to an external programmer that controls the implanted stimulator.
