Abstract
An incontinence management system for monitoring wetness in one or more absorbent articles, includes input for receiving one or more sensor signals indicative of a presence of wetness in an absorbent article, processor for processing the one or more sensor signals and for performing an analysis of the signals to characterize wetness events occurring in an absorbent article and user interface for communicating with a user of the system. A mathematical model is used to characterize wetness events, receiving as inputs variables derived from sensor signals and optionally, patient and demographic data. The mathematical model can be configured and/or re-configured utilizing observation data obtained while monitoring a patient for wetness. A diaper for use with such as system is also disclosed.
