Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an intelligent internet of things (IoT) monitoring system, and in particular to techniques (e.g., systems, methods, computer program products storing code or instructions executable by one or more processors) for the implementation of an IoT solution to manage urinary incontinence. Some aspects are directed to the concept of a management platform that allows for end users such as health care providers, caretakers, or medical personnel to manage and monitor one or more subjects through one or more client devices using a network of sensors and IoT devices. Other aspects are directed the concept of a data analysis system configured to train and deploy one or more prediction models for analysis and tracking metrics of health or wellbeing for the one or more subjects.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

an absorbent article comprising:
a liquid permeable top sheet;
an absorbent material disposed under the liquid permeable top sheet;
a liquid impermeable back sheet comprised of a nonabsorbent material, wherein the liquid impermeable back sheet is disposed over the absorbent material such that the absorbent material is disposed between the liquid permeable top sheet and the liquid impermeable back sheet;
and
one or more radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors, wherein a first RFID sensor of the one or more RFID sensors is attached to an exterior surface of the liquid impermeable back sheet within a region of the liquid impermeable back sheet that is at least partially aligned vertically with the absorbent material;
and
an internet of things (IoT) device in wireless communication with the one or more RFID sensors, wherein the IoT device is connected to a first antenna and a second antenna, wherein the first antenna is positioned orthogonal or at a defined rotational offset relative to the second antenna.
