| مستخلص: | Using absorbent products to manage the urinary incontinence (UI) of dependent residents in care facilities (such as nursing homes, and hospitals) requires frequent routine checks throughout the day and night to see if products need changing. Timely changes of saturated products are necessary to avoid long-lasting skin exposure to wet absorbent products, unpleasant odor, leaking of such products and embarrassing moments for the users. Limited staffing, high workload, and peaks on the demand for caregiving are challenges that hamper swift support for the care dependent population. This paper describes novel sensing technology that has been developed for monitoring the wet state of absorbent products remotely. The Orizon system by Ontex enables caregivers to prioritize care routines, avoid sleep disturbance at night and achieve effective leakage prevention. Moreover, the monitoring data can be used to understand the individual product usage and incontinence pattern of individuals, helping incontinence specialists to choose the optimal product and implement appropriate toilet training for each user. Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe author(s) declared the following potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The author is employee of Ontex who now markets the Orizon product. |
