Real-time notification for needs-driven care in elderly care

Frequent and time-consuming routine checks
Increased burden on healthcare professionals
Going beyond patients' sleep

Challenge

Nursing homes conduct frequent and time-consuming routine checks to uncover need for sanitation assistance, which interferes with patients' sleep and goes beyond their dignity. The lack of real-time alerting leads to unnecessary care, improper use of resources and increased strain on health care providers.

All the projects you see -- from big brands to startups -- are just examples of what's possible. Gture delivers digital product development, design and project management on demand.
These controls are time-consuming, costly and ineffective, putting undue pressure on already limited staff resources.

Our approach

The SensCom Diaper Sens is a flexible sensor that attaches easily to the outside of the incontinence product that alerts healthcare professionals when action needs to be taken. We help Diaper Sens with the software surrounding their solution, both development and operation. Our dedicated team of engineers ensures that the data is received, processed and presented securely in various applications. Furthermore, a dedicated product and design team ensures the user experience and ease of use of the Diaper Sense application.

Solution

The result

Diaper Sens is a flexible sensor that attaches easily to the outside of the incontinence product. The sensor notifies you of the need for an incontinence product change via an easy-to-use app. With Diaper Sense, nursing home staff get an alert every time a patient needs sanitary help, removing unnecessary routine checks that interfere with a patient's sleep and dignity. By reducing nurses' unnecessary, costly and ineffective routine checks, patients can now notify staff immediately when they need help. Thanks to Diaper Sens, nursing homes can reduce expenses related to unnecessary care, and nurses can spend their much-needed time elsewhere.

Through Diaper Sense technology, nursing homes can contribute to the well-being of residents. Their work not only increases the dignity of the occupant and reintroduces a sense of control, but frees up the time of the auxiliary staff to focus on other important tasks.

At Gture, we are proud to partner with Diaper Sense to ensure good health and quality of life for everyone — regardless of age.
