In health care facilities, smart incontinence products are emerging as a non-intrusive way to track patient needs through an app, without the need for disruptive manual checks. But currently, the costs involved outweigh the benefits.
Pilotfish is now developing a connector between the sensor and monitoring device that will make the move to smart incontinence products financially viable for health facilities, and importantly – increase efficiency for medical professionals and improve comfort for those in care.
This is possible due to OrelTech’s easy-to-process metallic inks, which can apply a conductive layer to affordable materials like paper, and directly to a connector, removing the need for costing metal components.
Our Berlin team is excited by the possibilities that OrelTech’s printing technology offers, and is thrilled to bring our idea to a prototype, with additional support from VTT and Blumorpho, thanks to the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 funding provided through SmartEEs.
