Method for monitoring incontinence

A method of monitoring incontinence for a user, comprising:

• determining, using a urine sensitive circuit provided at an absorbent article and arranged to present a changed electrical characteristic when exposed to urine, whether the user has urinated on the absorbent article, wherein the changed electrical characteristic of the urine sensitive circuit is indicative of an amount of urine released on to the urine sensitive circuit,
• determining an orientation and/or a movement of the user using a sensor arranged on the user, and
• in response to determining that the user has urinated on the absorbent article, recording by a processing circuit, data representing a parameter that influences a urine bladder fill level, an estimated movement and/or posture of the user based on the orientation and/or the movement determined by the sensor, and an estimate of the amount of urine released on to the urine sensitive circuit,
• wherein the parameter that influences the urine bladder fill level is a user-supplied parameter entered via a user interface or received by a receiver;
• or
• wherein the parameter that influences the urine bladder fill level is a measured parameter representing a time passed since a last toilet visit, or a time of day recorded by a timer;
• or
• wherein the parameter that influences the urine bladder fill level is a measured parameter representing a temperature measured by a temperature sensor.
