Abena Nova is expected to be launched in early 2018. It is the world's first intelligent diaper with built-in sensors and a small discrete clip attached. As soon as the diaper is wet, the sensors send an alert to the caregivers' smartphones or tablets. The diaper fuses the clinical expertise of incontinence and high quality diaper manufacturing from Abena with the innovative wearable sensor technology of MediSens Wireless.

Use of the intelligent diaper would also give the care staff an insight into the incontinence pattern of the resident to plan and improve toileting and personal hygiene, a release from Abena said. Currently, Abena Nova is undergoing trials with the second largest special needs healthcare provider in Netherlands, Philadelphia Zorg. The trial will take over six months and involve approximately 100 clients in multiple care facilities.

According to some estimates, in most nursing homes, between 40 and 60 per cent admitted patients suffer from urinary incontinence. This has huge impact on patients both physically and mentally, besides requiring specialised care from healthcare institutions. (SV)
