Abstract

Disposable diaper is heavy used in care home or hospital. It's often the case that helper doesn't notice that the patient eliminated. This is very discomfort for patient, and bad for the health. They are problem which should be solved. There are conventional incontinence sensor using gas sensor or capped electrode etc. Most of them are large size. So the patient feels something is wrong when he gets on them. It takes a lot of trouble to use because they are not disposable. These sensors are unfamiliar because of those problems. We developed device which make patient's quality of life better. We are writing to suggest that Ultra Small Disposable Defecation Sensor to solve those problem. This sensor is low cost, very small, and comfortable for patient and helper because of disposable. It enables using RFID.
