A system includes a urination data storage unit, an absorbent article information storage unit, a changeable time storage unit, and a changing schedule proposal unit. The changing schedule proposal unit includes a changing schedule computation unit and a changing schedule outputting unit. The changing schedule computation unit finds, on the basis of urination amount data and urination time instant data stored in the urination data storage unit, a total urination amount within a predetermined time period selected from changeable time instants stored in the changeable time storage unit, and performs, by comparing the total urination amount that has been found and the urine absorption capacity of an absorbent article, computation for finding the absorbent article or the predetermined time period such that the urine absorption capacity does not fall below the total urination amount.

Care schedule proposal device

A urination sensor includes: a printing substrate made of a resin film; and a plurality of planar printed electrodes made by an electroconductive ink applied to the printing substrate. The urination sensor is provided with a section where the printing substrate is not present, the section being provided between the plurality of planar printed electrodes. The urination sensor, including the section where the printing substrate is not present, is covered by a cover sheet. A backsheet is an electrically insulating, sparingly liquid-permeable substrate, and the printing substrate is an electrically insulating substrate. Non-application sections are present on the surface of the cover sheet to which an adhesive is applied, and the section where the printing substrate is not present forms an air-passage opening which retains an air-passage function with the non-application sections where the adhesive is not applied.
