Abstract:

Aiming at the misalignment in price, efficacy and use efficiency of the existing incontinence underwear, this research was carried out to optimize the design of incontinence underwear from the aspects of textile materials, structure and functional modules, so as to achieve the real-time monitoring of incontinence for people with special care. The existing excreta disposal products equipped with prompt function were analyzed, identifying the shortcomings such as uneasy to use, inconvenient replacement, high price, and poor compatibility. The temperature and humidity sensor, as well as STC89C52 controller, were employed for the monitoring incontinence, making use of the multi-layer alarm mechanism. Real-time reception of the patient information on mobile APP was realized through the WI-FI module. Consequently, the research and design of incontinence-monitored underwear were achieved through clothing structure optimization and test and evaluation experiments of clothing for wearing effect. The research results demonstrate that this incontinence-monitored underwear can significantly improve the replacement efficiency and actual nursing efficiency on the basis of meeting the comfort requirements. Such incontinent products are of low cost and excellent brand compatibility.

Key words: intelligent clothing, incontinence monitoring, temperature and humidity sensor, underwear design
