This fluid detection device uses printed electronics to create a circuit between a paper-based, one-time-use sensor embedded in a diaper, and an external reusable plastic connector. This allows aged care and healthcare facilities to remotely detect fluids, offering a non-invasive alternative to manual checks. It also serves as a cost-efficient solution for optimising stock management.

Our smart device is simple – when fluid is detected, healthcare staff are alerted that a diaper change is needed. No costly metal components. No disruptive manual checks, or unnecessary changes. This affordable solution to incontinence management allows healthcare facilities to improve their stock management and optimise their staff time, all while increasing patient comfort.
