Reduces the need for intrusive checks
An enuresis sensor provides a discreet and efficient means to detect involuntary urination or incontinence and raises an alert if moisture is detected. It ensures carers can respond quickly if they are needed, but otherwise do not disturb the user’s sleep. Placed between the mattress and sheet, this sensor eliminates the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting dignity and independence.
Enuresis sensors can be used in individual homes or within assisted living environments to support independent living. The sensors can provide peace of mind for older people or individuals who are immobile or have physical limitations.

How does it work?
The sensors are portable and simple to use, designed to support carers and protect users. Once a sensor detects moisture, it will send a signal to a small interface module positioned under a bed, which sends a wireless communication to a Lifeline home unit or Telecare Overlay system to enable care to be delivered quickly.
Three types of enuresis sensors are available:
Wipe clean enuresis sensor
A thin, waterproof and durable plastic sensor mat, which is positioned between the mattress and top sheet of a bed. It can be quickly wiped clean and replaced into a bed.
