A system for monitoring incontinence care, comprising:
- a plurality of hygiene products or undergarments, each hygiene product or undergarment having an associated tag;
- a reader configured to detect the tags associated with the hygiene products or undergarments;
- a point of care unit configured to receive tracking information from the reader, wherein the point of care unit is further configured to track any of the time since a resident was last attended to, moisture events, and care events, wherein care events comprise checking the resident, changing the resident's hygiene product or undergarment, or toileting the resident, and wherein the point of care unit is configured to generate an alert when a resident has been unattended for longer than a predetermined time period.
A sensor insert for a hygiene product, comprising:
- a non-woven material forming an uppermost layer;
- a super absorbent polymer layer positioned below the non-woven material;
- a tag positioned below the super absorbent polymer layer, the tag configured to detect moisture, wherein the super absorbent polymer layer is configured to consolidate the moisture at the tag;
- an inner adhesive layer positioned below the tag;
- and
- a back sheet positioned below the inner adhesive layer, wherein the sensor insert is configured to be adhered to an inside surface of the hygiene product.
A method for handling refuse or hygiene product disposal in a bin, comprising:
- receiving a hygiene product in a bin;
- determining the hygiene product is a soiled hygiene product;
