Problem
Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from incontinence, often due to sensory or motor bladder dysfunction. Current methods for managing this condition can be insufficient, leading to a reduced quality of life and increased burden on healthcare facilities. Many patients lack awareness of their bladder fullness, resulting in accidents and complications.
Solution
inContAlert is developing a wearable medical device that uses patented, non-invasive sensor technology to continuously monitor bladder fullness. The device transmits data to a companion app, where proprietary AI algorithms analyze the data and provide timely alerts to the user, warning them of critical bladder levels. This allows individuals to proactively manage their condition and regain control over their bladder function. In clinical settings, inContAlert's technology can optimize resource utilization, streamline workflows, and facilitate personalized voiding management.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with neurogenic bladder, sensory or motor bladder dysfunction, and those seeking to improve their quality of life through proactive incontinence management, as well as healthcare providers in hospitals and care facilities.
