Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021087600A1] The present invention is directed to a wetness detection system designed to work along with any commercially available brief (5). The wetness detection system comprises at least two conductive lines (6) along the length of the diaper, the conductive lines (6) being printed on any layer of the diaper and capacitively coupled to an alerting device or pod (8) which can be attached to the incontinence brief (5). The pod (8) is able to send an input analog signal, as square pulses into at least a first conductive line (6), said signal travels across urine when the diaper starts to become wet and travels back to the pod (8) through at least a second conductive line (6). The pod (8) is also capable of estimating when the diaper becomes saturated and sending at this moment appropriate wireless signals to the caregivers.
