Abstract

In this work, a wearable system to detect urine leakage based on a textile sensor is proposed. The system consists of a capacitive sensor embroidered with a conductive yarn in a cotton/polyester substrate. A microcontroller (MCU) with a wireless module for signal acquisition and a smartphone for monitoring complete the overall system. The capacitive sensor behaviour was tested in a climatic chamber between 30 % and 80% of relative humidity (RH) with a LCR meter and charge/discharge method directly connected to the MCU. The results show that the proposed system is able to detect urine leakage even though when the patient wears a diaper. The functionally allows to develop a real time monitoring system which can help nursing and medical assistants to take care of elderly and disabled people and improve the quality of life of these patients.

基于纺织传感器的可穿戴尿液泄漏检测系统。
在这项工作中,提出了一种基于纺织品传感器的可穿戴尿液泄漏检测系统。该系统由一个电容式传感器组成,在棉/聚酯基材上绣有导电纱。一个带有无线信号采集模块的微控制器(MCU)和一个用于监控的智能手机完成了整个系统。电容式传感器的性能在相对湿度(RH)为30%至80%的气候室中进行测试,LCR仪表和充电/放电方法直接连接到MCU。结果表明,即使患者穿着尿布,该系统也能检测到尿漏。在功能上允许开发一个实时监控系统,可以帮助护理和医疗助理照顾老年人和残疾人,提高这些患者的生活质量。
