Abstract
A diaper sensor for detecting and differentiating feces and urine in a diaper is described. The diaper sensor may include at least one pair of conductive elements positioned within an absorbent region of the diaper. The diaper sensor may also include a transmitter and a control circuit operatively connected to the at least one pair of conductive elements and the transmitter. The diaper sensor may further include a power source operatively connected to the control circuit. The control circuit may measure the conductivity between the at least one pair of conductive elements. The control circuit may also determine whether there is poop or pee present in the diaper using the conductivity. The control circuit may also transmit via the transmitter a signal indicative of whether there is excrement or pee present in the diaper.
