Incontinence is one of the biggest challenges in the healthcare sector. Continence care is time-consuming and physically demanding for health care providers. For residents, incontinence may cause physical discomfort and a reduced quality of life.
ABENA Nova with MediSens improves quality of life for people in healthcare institutions and reduces the workload of healthcare employees. Thanks to the innovative and unique wearable sensor technology, ABENA Nova provides real-time and actionable data for timely and personalised continence care.
Personalising continence care with digital technology
ABENA Nova is a simple solution with a profound impact. ABENA Nova's incontinence product has integrated sensors and a personal clip that measures saturation. The clip transmits information via Bluetooth and 4G network to the WetSens Monitor app, which is installed on the caregivers mobile device. The app allows caregivers' to track saturation levels and take timely action when it is time for a change
The material and design of the incontinence product is the same as ABENAs other premium-quality incontinence products and fulfils the same environmental and health care certifications, including the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. The only difference is the integrated sensors, which are so small that they do not in any way, affect user comfort. The end-user will barely feel the difference.
How ABENA Nova works
- Accurate built-in sensors: Residents wear an ABENA Nova incontinence product with integrated sensors and a small attachable clip.
- Stable infrastructure: Data is transmitted to the cloud irrespective of the facility’s physical environment and IT setup.
- Real-time actionable insights: Caregivers are notified (via mobile device) and take action.
