alea’s incontinence monitoring system supports carers by providing real-time data on the fill level and status of incontinence products (IPs). The system currently detects urine with a fill-level indicator and provides digital notifications regarding the ideal time for a change.
Objectives of the function:
- Prevention of associated conditions: skin irritation, infections (e.g. urinary tract infections), pressure sores or dermatitis through optimised change intervals.
- Increased efficiency: reduction in leaks, savings in materials and time through needs-based change routines.
- Improved quality of life: fewer symptoms and secondary conditions for care recipients.
Indications:
Suitable for individuals diagnosed with mild, moderate and severe incontinence (stress incontinence, urge incontinence (motor and/or sensory), mixed urinary incontinence, reflex incontinence, overflow incontinence, extraurethral forms of urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence.
Instructions for use:
- The alea hardware does not come into direct contact with the skin. The clip is attached to the front of the designated pocket on the incontinence product (IP) and ensures a stable position and reliable measurement.
- The system does not replace standard care practices, but supports decision-making.
Medical benefits:
- Minimisation of incontinence-related comorbidities (e.g. skin damage, infections).
- Avoidance of prolonged wear of full ICPs to reduce skin injuries.
- No known contraindications (continuous review as part of product development).
Duration of use:
Suitable for short-, medium- or long-term use.
