Abstract

A bedridden patients, elderly people, and dementia who are subject to special care at a medical institution can not handle the feces themselves and need the help of a guardian or care-giver. In particular, toxic substances are contained in the stools, which can cause eczema, dermatitis and urticaria, so it is important to replace diapers. In this paper, we propose a wearable device design for the detection of excretions in consideration of the various excretion requirements of the elderly. The device is a form in which a module are attached to an adult diaper used in a nursing hospital to detect excreta, and the presence or absence of a wearer can be confirmed by an LED. The measured data is transmitted to the smartphone app in real time via Bluetooth in the module and can be checked for popup notification. The validity of this study was verified by comparing the actual excretion with the data collected through the designed module.

의료기관에서 특별 관리 대상이 되는 와상환자, 고령자, 치매 환자들은 대소변을 스스로 처리할 수 없어 보호자나 간병인의 도움이 필요하다. 특히 대변에는 독성물질이 포함되어있어 습진이나 피부염, 두드러기의 발병 요인이 되므로 기저귀의 교체는 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제에 대하여 편의를 제공하고자 고령자의 다양한 배설 요건을 고려한 대소변 감지용 웨어러블 디바이스 설계를 제안하였다. 구현된 웨어러블 디바이스는 요양병원에서 사용되는 성인용 기저귀에 대소변을 감지할 수 있는 센서와 모듈을 부착한 형태로서 착용자의 배설유무를 LED로 확인할 수 있다. 측정된 데이터는 모듈 내 블루투스를 통해 스마트폰 앱에 실시간으로 전송되며 팝업알림으로도 배설 유무를 확인할 수 있다. 설계한 모듈을 통해 수집된 데이터와 실제 배설 유무를 비교하여 본 연구의 유효성을 검증하였다.
