The present invention relates to a disposable absorbent pad comprising multiple layers. In particular, the absorbent pad of the present invention maintains skin dryness by absorbing moisture while preventing leakage to the skin or the bed linens, allowing air circulation at the surface of the patient's skin to prevent heat buildup, and is strong enough to allow the patient to be repositioned, even when the pad is wet. In a particular embodiment the first layer is comprised of a fluid-permeable, porous material, the second layer is disposed under the first layer and is comprised of at least one super absorbent material, and a base layer disposed under the second layer.

The invention discloses a sleep quality monitoring system for the middle-aged and the elderly. The sleep quality monitoring system for the middle-aged and the elderly detects the sleep quality of the middle-aged and the elderly by a power socket A, an adapter A, a mobile phone APP, a cloud server, a bedside lamp, a power socket B, an adapter B, a transceiver controller, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a heating pad, a signal collecting unit, a processor transmitting signal unit, a humidity sensing unit, a temperature sensing unit, an alarm unit, a preheating unit, a heating unit and a signal receiving processing unit.

A wearable ultrasound device for signalling changes in human or animal body, and use of such a wearable device for signalling over a prolonged period of time. In an example the changes occur in a bladder. Such is especially relevant for elderly persons, women after delivery of a baby, lesion patients, demented people, children, and others, have a difficulty to control functioning of the bladder, and to be at the toilet on time to urinate.

A sensor for detecting urine and stool secretion mounted over two or more layers of garment, said sensor comprising: at least one light source configured to illuminate said garment; at least one photodetector configured to output an indication of the amount of light reflected from said garment; and an electronic circuit configured to detect said secretion by monitoring said output of said photodetector and identifying a temporal pattern being characteristic of said secretion event.

A washable multi-layer composite capable of fluid containment that may be used to protect a surface from liquid infiltration

An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber and an adjustable spine. The adjustable spine is configured to selectively change the shape of at least a portion of the fluid collection assembly. For example, the adjustable spine includes a first strip and a second strip. The second strip is configured to switch from at least a relaxed configuration to a stressed configuration. The fluid collection assembly may exhibit a first shape when the second strip is in the relaxed configuration and a second shape that is different than the first shape when the second strip is in the stressed configuration.

A medical device (1) designed to be implanted in the body of a person or animal, which device comprises a housing (2), at least one deformable element (3) and at least one sensor for measuring or calculating pressure, the housing (2) and the deformable element (3) being connected by a tubular connection (5) and implanted in the body of a person or animal at a distance from each other, the medical device (1) being characterised in that it is configured to detect a position and/or a change of position of at least one part of the body depending on a variation in the pressure measured or calculated by the sensor.

Disclosed is a fluid absorbent bed pad suitable for absorbing bodily fluids of a patient. The pad includes a backing layer comprising a first polymeric fiber and a second polymeric fiber, the second polymeric fiber being relatively tacky relative to the first polymeric fiber and being present in said backing layer in an amount relatively smaller than the amount of said first fiber and comprising a bicomponent fiber. The presence of the second polymeric fiber will impart a tacky nature to the backing to resist slipping and bunching of the bed pad.
