  • the present invention, and embodiments thereof, contemplates the broadening of such systems to provide for diagnosis and treatment of conditions which result in incontinence.
  • An extensive list of clinically relevant medical conditions may be recognised or suspected by the detection of a number of metabolites, chemicals and ions, as well as other substances and cells of different types, in urine.
  • Such materials as nitrites, amino acids, Beta-2 microglobulin, such measurements as pH, osmolality, white cell count, protein, specific gravity, and such conditions as multiple myeloma and haematuria, may be detected by testing urine from a patient.
  • the system of the present invention has as its core a diaper to be worn by the patient, which diaper has features which enable it to monitor incontinence, particularly urinary incontinence, by, for example, collecting data from the patient wearing the diaper, and transmitting it to a location where such data may be processed.
  • the diaper may also include features which enable samples of, for example, urine, to be withdrawn in situ from such a diaper, for testing.
  • Fig. 1 shows a diaper 10 which is adapted to be worn by a patient (not shown).
  • the diaper 10 is disposable and/or re-usable, and preferably has an elasticised waistband 12 and elasticised upper thigh bands 14, 16.
  • the diaper 10 is intended to permit the estimation of the volume of urine flowing from the patient in real time. This is effected by the placing of one or more moisture (wetness) sensors 18 at different locations in the diaper 10.
  • the sensors 18 form part of a radio transmitting and data capturing arrangement (not shown), operated by special software.
  • the sensors 18 are constituted by conductive inks, and will detect the presence of moisture.
  • These conductive inks which are preferably special conductive inks of various formulations, are connected to the aforementioned arrangement, which may be a purpose designed continence management system which captures the data captured by the sensors 18, which data is recorded via radio transmission to hardware running a computer software program. Some of the data may also be transmitted to nursing staff or a nursing station responsible for the management of the incontinence episode in an appropriate manner for the patient or resident in question.
  • the conductive inks used in the sensors 18 are preferably based on low-cost materials such as carbon, formulated on the carbon content of different concentrations and composition, to achieve the most appropriate sensitivity for moisture detection.
  • Current conductive units are silver-based, and accordingly are too expensive for use in a disposable diaper.
  • the choice of carbon or a similar inert substance will reduce the likelihood of interference with chemical markers, which may be incorporated into the sensors 18, for the detection of clinically relevant substances of the type referred to earlier in this specification.
  • Information captured by the chemical markers is transmitted using radio or the like technology, and processed by specially designed software, to be used for improved management of clinical conditions of residents and patients by medical or nursing staff.
  • the conductive ink will be such that rapid drying or curing will be achieved to enable manufacture of disposable diapers 10 to be carried out at rates consistent with the production of existing and future diapers, presently in the order of 400 diapers per second.
  • the manufacturing process may be carried out using ultraviolet light in a manner similar to that used in rapid curing of dental materials for various dental procedures such as dental fillings.
  • the volume of urine passed by the resident or patient will be established using a mathematical model computed by using such factors as the distance between sensors 18, the rate of transfer of moisture between sensors 18, and the absorption properties of the materials used, such as polymer fibres, natural fibres and combinations of polymer fibres and natural fibres.
  • the information from the sensors 18 is transmitted using existing radio technology, and the data is processed using specially designed software running the aforementioned mathematical model.
  • the sensors 18 incorporate diagnostic qualities, which differ from the arrangement of Fig. 2, to be described hereinafter, because the system of Fig. 1 does not use blood-derived components.
  • FIG. 2 that figure shows a diaper or the like 20 which may fundamentally be similar to the diaper 10 of Fig. 1 , and which is adapted to be worn by a patient or resident suffering from some form of incontinence.
  • the diaper 20 is disposable and/or re-usable, and preferably has an elasticised waistband 22 and elasticised upper thigh bands 24, 26.
  • the diaper 20 has a sleeve 28 located preferably in the area of the diaper 20 close to the pubic area of the patient or resident.
  • the sleeve 28 is intended to house a diagnostic strip or the like 30.
  • diagnostic strips 30 may be of the Multistix/Combistix type or similar to other strips which are able to detect relevant substances in urine, for example blood, sugar, nitrites, leucocytes, urea, specific gravity, protein, and other substances.
  • the sleeve 28 will protect the skin of the wearer from such blood derived products and thus accidental infection with hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV.
  • the sleeve 28 will need to allow for a sufficient volume of urine to be captured so that the urine may make contact with the strip 30, and for radio transmission of data to take place within the required time frame.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show front and rear views of an exemplary sleeve 28 for a diagnostic strip 30.
  • the sleeve 28 is secured to diaper 20 as will be described hereinafter, and is designed and constructed of materials which will attract and capture urine from the patient or resident. This will expose the chemical sensors on the strip 30 to the collected urine.
  • the front 32 of the sleeve 28 may be provided with a V-shaped notch 34 for ease of insertion of a diagnostic strip 30. Pores and channels 36 may be provided to facilitate the drawing in of the urine to the interior of the sleeve 28, effectively "sucking up” the urine.
  • the rear 38 of the sleeve 28 may be provided with adhesive material 40 for attaching the sleeve 28 to the diaper 20 or pad, in much the same manner as used in feminine hygiene products.
  • a sleeve 28 according to the present invention will allow urine to be captured in sufficient volume to permit the detection of relevant clinical substances.
  • the interpretation of the results of such detection are preferably based upon a recalibration of what may be regarded as normal or abnormal, compared to existing "dipsticks", which have established normal and abnormal values for interpretation.
  • This re-standardising may be required to take account of any alteration which may occur in the components in the urine samples, as a result of the present invention.
  • diaper fibres may trap some white blood cells, so that a new "normal value” may be needed to be established to cater for such a possibility. As a consequence, a new lower value for the number of leucocytes in a sample may be required.
  • Another example relates to the test for the albumen.creatinine ratio in a spot urine sample.
  • a level of 0.7 mg/mmol corresponding to a urinary excretion rate of more than 5 mgm/min would indicate a high-risk (in cardiovascular terms) patient requiring aggressive treatment.
  • This marker of arterial damage may be considered with raised cholesterol and hypertension as a serious risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
  • Such values would be revised if necessary for the purposes of the present invention.
  • the sleeve operates as follows. Urine is drawn into the sleeve 28 via capillary action, osmosis and semipermeable membrane processes, thereby bringing the urine into contact with a diagnostic strip 30, which may be a proprietary strip such as marketed under the Bayer and Roche brands, to enable the "reading" to take place in a timely fashion. The carer or nurse will have been alerted to the availability of the urine sample through the radio-based system and software- based system described earlier in this specification.
  • Patients or residents may be required to take standard known quantities of substances such as creatinine to carry out reliable, accurate tests which the incontinence management system is able to interpret reliably.
  • ingested substances may be excreted in an unmetabolised form, for example, as creatinine asparginine, or may be actively metabolised and measured as a metabolite in the urine.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 of the present invention makes possible the interpretations of findings in near real time, as the requirement of testing fresh, recently passed, urine is essential for the most accurate interpretations to take place.
  • a pad 42 which preferably is adapted to be attached to a diaper (not shown) of a neonate, baby or a child, more preferably by adhesive means such as 44.
  • the pad 42 itself is preferably formed from an absorbent material 46 such as a sponge or sponge-like material, to take up urine excreted by the baby.
  • the pad 42 may also preferably be fitted with a transmitter 48 for transmitting data to the system(s) described previously in this specification.
  • a transmitter 48 for transmitting data to the system(s) described previously in this specification.
  • One example of such a signal would be a signal representative of the fact that voiding had taken place. This may be accomplished by linking the transmitter 48 with a wetness sensor (not shown).
  • the pad 42 shown in Fig. 5 is much more sophisticated. It preferably comes in three versions.
  • the first version would be a "wetness only" signalling pad, where a parent or nurse would be alerted in real time of passage of urine, would collect the pad and place it in a suitable container to be sent promptly to the microbiology and pathology lab for testing, or would draw up the urine via a syringe for placement in a container, with the container being sent to the lab.
  • the second type involves the pad 42 having a collecting chamber (not shown) incorporated therein, into which urine has been drawn.
  • This chamber is preferably removable, so that it may be removed when a predetermined amount of urine, or urine passed in a predetermined period of time has been passed, and sent to the microbial/pathology lab.
  • the third type of pad 42 would have a chamber such as that described in relation to the second type, but which would include diagnostic strips of the type and purpose described hereinbefore in relation to Figs. 2 to 4.
  • the design of the collection chamber, sleeve or pocket will be such that it will collect urine for dipstick testing, for collection of samples to be transported for pathology/bacteriology testing, or in situ testing using the new sensors designed for the incontinence management system.
  • the collection chamber, sleeve or pocket will be designed in conjunction with the diaper to which it is attached, which diaper draws and feeds the urine into the chamber, to maximise the volume of urine collected, when only small voids have occurred.
  • urine may be expunged form a urine-soaked pad 42 via a special container which may expel urine by the use of a plunger (not shown), which may be compared to the plunger in a coffee plunger, which is able to force urine into a sealed compartment (not shown), separate from the pad 42.
  • the pad 42 may have capillary channels (not shown, but preferably similar to channels 36 of Fig. 3, to draw the urine towards the collection chamber.
  • the pad 42 and/or diaper containing the pad 42 may also preferably use materials designed for osmosis, capillary action or other manner of providing directional flow of urine to assist in the transfer of the urine to a location where it is required.
  • Fig. 6 shows an alternative pad 50, which may be generally similar to pad 42 of Fig. 5, but which has a generally cylindrical shape.
  • a dressing for a wound are preferably provided such that information about the would may be relayed via sensors located on or in association with the dressing, which would otherwise be difficult to determined because conventional dressings or casts would be in the way.
  • sensors of the dipstick and/or electronic type for dressings on wounds. Additional components, ions and chemical markers of bodily fluids or exudates from the body, may be detected in situ or via the sensors located on or in association with the sensors.
