The design is robust and allows for easy cleaning/disinfection
The sensors in the incontinence product are activated by moisture. A personal clip measures the degree of saturation and continuously registers and gives notifications to the app. The clip transmits information via Bluetooth and 4G network to the WetSens Monitor App.
The clip is small and designed to prevent any potential discomfort resulting contact with the skin.
The clip registers and gives notifications to the app
The clip is registered by scanning the clip on the mobile device. The resident is then registered in the WetSens system and linked with the personal clip.
Every time the clip is attached to an incontinence product it registers and gives notifications to the app, giving the caregiver information about the resident, size and type of product, how long the product has been attached, and current wetness levels.
Incontinence is one of the biggest challenges in the health care sector. Continence care is time-consuming and physically demanding for health care providers. For residents, incontinence may cause physical discomfort and a reduced quality of life.
