Problem
Incontinence in seniors, particularly those with limited mobility, often leads to prolonged exposure to soiled products. This can result in pressure wounds, urinary tract infections, falls, and dehydration, requiring constant monitoring by caregivers. Traditional methods of checking for urine presence are often reactive and may not provide timely alerts for necessary changes.
Solution
Know-Able offers a remote monitoring system designed to detect urine presence in real-time, enabling caregivers to promptly address soiled incontinence products. The system utilizes a sensor to identify urine and immediately alerts caregivers, facilitating timely changes and reducing the risk of associated complications. Furthermore, the system conducts urinalysis on the captured urine, providing insights into potential urinary tract infections and dehydration risk, allowing for proactive intervention and improved patient outcomes. This proactive approach aims to minimize the incidence of pressure wounds, urinary tract infections, falls, and dehydration among severely incontinent seniors.
