The Easy Win-Win Solution for Real Time Care

What is WeSenseTM?

  • A disposable sensor is placed in any commercially available incontinence product.
  • The sensor is inserted into a POD, which is a connected wearable device that senses wetness events.
  • The device (POD) transmits individual wetness alerts to an App for care aids to act on.
  • This invaluable tool can reduce costs & penalties for care facilities.
  • Brief changes are made at appropriate times offering the highest level of care to residents.
  • Faster service delivery, less time spent in a wet brief.
  • Software that manages all data for reporting and verification. Data that helps to plan staffing needs and budgets.

WeSenseTM is an ecosystem that is revolutionizing elderly care.

WeSenseTM recognizes wetness events in real time, alerting the caregivers as an incontinent product reaches capacity. WeSenseTM also provides reporting which can help to both improve the quality of care of residents, and reduce costs of continence management by reducing waste disposal, unnecessary brief changes, and improved staff utilization.

WeSenseTM will change the way you manage continence!

How it works

WeSenseTM will detect wetness events in real time and will alert when the brief is close to usable capacity. This way, caregivers will change residents at the appropriate time! Caregivers can rely on accurate data to change residents when alerted. Not too soon, not too late but at the right time!

WeSenseTM provides usage patterns and analysis in order to help plan your staff’s workload and help in choosing the most suitable incontinence product for each resident. As a result your staff members will never have to physically check a resident’s incontinence product for saturation ever again while using WeSenseTM.*

 

*Physical checks should still be conducted by staff members for other possible issues, such as fecal incontinence, pressure ulcers, etc.

WeSenseTM will help you reduce costs in three ways

1
Reducing time spent on continence management
2
Reducing usage of incontinence products
3
Reducing waste disposal and laundering costs

Thus, allowing nursing homes to save on labor costs. Significantly less time spent on continence management.

Why WeSenseTM?

Approximately 500 million people worldwide are incontinent, with approximately 8 million nursing home beds, where 70% of nursing home residents experience incontinence (according to the National Association for Continence) and a quarter of staff time is spent on continence management.

A significant amount of residents have dementia and therefore cannot communicate to the caregivers when they have a wet brief.

"Incontinence is unique to each individual resident"
The Voice of

Residents

Using our system provides a chance for residents to be heard. Our data speaks on their behalf by providing information about their individual continence needs which correlates to each resident’s needs.

Incontinence is unique to the individual resident; our system is able to demonstrate that by providing specific data and information.

"Less workload, more care"
The Voice of

Caregivers

We provide a voice to caregivers who often will not be able to know each resident’s need at a given moment. WeSenseTM is able to detect wetness events in real time. That way, briefs will be changed at the appropriate time versus scheduled changes.

Caregivers can now rely on accurate data and only change residents as needed. As a result, there is a reduced workload which adds a special touch to their care!

"We put the trust back in health care"
The Voice of

Families

Families want to know their loved ones are in good hands. Through our data, WeSenseTM enables to track each brief change and each wetness event and assures the quality of care has been provided by their nursing home. They can now trust that their loved ones are given the best of care and put their mind to rest.

"Less workload, more care"
The Voice of

Nursing Homes

Elderly care can be costly. WeSenseTM provides you with reliable data that can tell you exactly how much you need to spend on residence’s continence management which is often less than budgeted.

We are also able to provide you data on each resident’s incontinence patterns. That way you can assess the necessary workload and staff needed. That result in better time and cost management and scheduling, increases team work and boost staff morale.

How WeSenseTM Works

A wetness event occurs
The app records events on the server
The pod sends a signal via WIFI to the user
The alert is set off only when the brief reaches a pre-determined capacity and the caregiver checks on the resident
The caregiver changes the brief
