AI Technical Summary
Existing absorbent articles lack accurate and efficient detection systems for monitoring wetness distribution and leakage risk, particularly in institutional settings, requiring manual inspection and causing unnecessary costs and discomfort.
A conductive pattern on the absorbent article's substrate, connected to a clip-on data processing module, allows for electrical monitoring of wetness and leakage through resistance, impedance, and capacitance measurements, enabling scalable production and accurate detection without manual intervention.
The system provides reliable, automatic detection of wetness and leakage risk across different zones of the absorbent article, reducing production costs and enhancing user comfort by eliminating the need for manual inspection.
