Abstract

A patient monitoring system according to one embodiment includes a real-time wetness sensor configured to detect the rate of change in wetness occurring within an associated diaper, and automatically adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor to account for a wetness event unrelated to urination. A monitoring unit monitors the wetness sensor and generates data associated with detected wetness events relative to the diaper. A wireless transmitter configured with the monitoring unit and in communication with the monitoring system controller sends the generated data through a host computer, to a caregiver unit having a caregiver system controller in communication with the host computer.
