Development of Smart Diaper with 3D Printed Sensor-Supporter for Elderly Care

Abstract

The ultimate goal of this project is to implement a low-cost sensor-based approach to detect urine in the elderly's diapers through a wireless system. The sensors are metal electrodes, which simply measure the resistance change when urine exists in the diaper. We focused on the design of electrode sup-porter constructing with 3D printing technique, the electrical signal from electrodes and user’s feedback.
