Problem
Incontinence management in aged care often relies on manual checks, leading to delayed changes, increased discomfort for patients, and a higher risk of skin breakdown, urinary tract infections, and falls. Caregivers face challenges in efficiently monitoring patients and providing timely, personalized care due to the lack of real-time data and objective insights.
Solution
Smartz AG provides a smart diaper solution that transforms traditional diapers into connected medical devices, enabling real-time monitoring of moisture, movement, and temperature. The system uses a lightweight, flexible printed sensor and a reusable pod attached to the diaper to collect data, which is then transmitted to a cloud-based platform. Caregivers receive alerts via a mobile app and access an intuitive dashboard that delivers actionable information, facilitating timely diaper changes and personalized care plans. By providing real-time insights, Smartz helps to improve patient comfort and dignity, reduce the risk of complications, and optimize caregiver workflows.
