Wearable bladder sensor

The diaper changing process for elders is highly manual and time-consuming, making it one of the top 3 least enjoyable tasks among local Care staff across the pilot CCOs.

Summary of observation findings:

• An average of 10% of each work shift is spent on diaper changes
• Each diaper change takes approximately 3 minutes

*Findings were based on data from 3 CCOs covered during the work trial

The implementation of a wearable bladder sensor provides an efficient and holistic solution to minimise the time needed to perform these tasks.

The desired outcomes include:

• Reduced number of diaper checks and changes​
• Enhanced employee efficiency and experience
• Support independent toileting

The Dfree Wearable Device has the capability to track toilet-care times and create graphs to support visualisation of toilet usage patterns.

Case Study by Dfree found:

• Reduced caregiver time when assisting patients with bladder control issues by 30%​
• Reduced diaper and pad costs by 50%​
• Capability to track toilet-care times and create graphs to support visualisation of toilet usage patterns
