Diapenger offers an automated diaper‑changing and butt‑washing system for infants, toddlers, adults with incontinence, and the elderly. The unit uses a robotic arm, calibrated water‑spray, and warm‑air dryer to remove, cleanse, and replace disposable diapers in roughly two minutes, while safety sensors and an odor‑sealed waste bin ensure hygiene and user dignity. By automating the process, it reduces caregiver workload and conserves water and energy.

Problem
Caregivers of infants, toddlers, adults with incontinence, and the elderly must perform manual diaper changes that are time‑consuming, generate unpleasant odors, and expose both the user and the caregiver to waste‑related contamination, reducing dignity and independence for the care recipient.
Solution
Diapenger delivers a fully automated diaper‑changing and butt‑washing system that eliminates the manual steps of removal, cleaning, and replacement. The unit uses a robotic handling mechanism to extract the soiled diaper, a calibrated water‑spray module with adjustable temperature to cleanse the skin, and a warm‑air dryer to finish the process in roughly two minutes. Integrated safety sensors ensure correct positioning and prevent electrical hazards, while low‑voltage (12 V/24 V) power options keep consumption minimal. The system accepts standard disposable diapers of multiple sizes, stores used diapers in an odor‑sealed bin, and operates at a noise level comparable to a dishwasher. By automating the workflow, Diapenger reduces caregiver workload, conserves water, and maintains hygiene and user dignity.
Target Audience
Primary customers are home caregivers and family members of infants, toddlers, and adults with incontinence, as well as assisted‑living facilities and home‑care agencies seeking an automated hygiene solution.
