Description
Compare supplied diary timestamps without inferring a clinical frequency threshold.
A research diary or bench measurement uses a defined observation window, clock, unit, and reference level. Missing timing, incomplete collection, and unverified measurements affect how a result can be interpreted. Record arithmetic and signal terms describe supplied data without establishing clinical status.
Compare supplied diary timestamps without inferring a clinical frequency threshold.
When to use this tool
Use Bladder Diary Time Gap when you need a research-record or bench calculation with already supplied measurements, units, and observation boundaries.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousEvent, nextEvent. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read gap. Use the output convention below.
Return gap=nextEvent-previousEvent on the supplied numeric time axis.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| previousEvent | Previous Event | Required. Finite number. |
| nextEvent | Next Event | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| gap | Gap | Required. Finite number. |

"output": {
"gap": 15
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative gaps are permitted and no ordering or midnight correction is inferred. The result is a diary timing difference, not a clinical frequency assessment or advice about symptoms.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use an appropriately validated measurement and analysis method for clinical interpretation. Verify diary completeness, clock conventions, and measurement units before combining these terms into a research summary.
