WETNESS MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention is a wetness monitoring system that includes a data collection device that sends wetness measurement data to a central computer to detect changes in wetness measurement data caused by the presence of urine or other dielectric fluids. The data collector includes an internal power source so that the person can live a normal ambulatory life. The data collector uses changing resistance characteristics to gather wetness measurement data. The data collector periodically generates and transmits a signal containing actual wetness measurement data. The central computer receives the signals and compares the measurement data to an adjustable wetness sensitivity level to determine if a wetness event has occurred. When the central computer determines that a wetness event has occurred, the computer displays the name of the particular person wearing the data collector and the approximate time that the wetness event occurred.
