Problem
In care homes, manually monitoring incontinence is labor-intensive, prone to delays, and can lead to discomfort and skin irritation for residents. Traditional methods often lack real-time insights, making it difficult to proactively address individual needs and optimize care routines. Inefficient documentation further burdens staff and hinders effective communication.
Solution
AssistMe offers a digital care assistance system that utilizes sensor technology to provide real-time incontinence monitoring in care homes. A discreet sensor clip attached to the resident's incontinence product detects saturation levels and automatically sends notifications to caregivers via a mobile app or web interface. This enables timely changes, reduces the risk of leakage, and improves resident comfort. The system also automates documentation, streamlining workflows and freeing up staff to focus on direct resident care. By providing data-driven insights into individual needs, AssistMe helps optimize care plans and improve overall quality of life for residents.
