Hospital Care

Patients, Residents, Caregivers, and Healthcare Organizations can benefit from our AlertWet® System. Until now, manual processes are the only way to know when incontinent products are wet and require attention.


People in care for incontinence, rehabilitation, trauma, illness, disabilities, postpartum, burns, injuries, and old age often require underpads and sometimes diapers; caregivers manually check for wetness to change to dry. Over 18 million older adults have thinner skin, which can begin to break down after 15 minutes of being damp, with higher incontinence rates. Incontinent people want to be dry, and caregivers wish for dryness but cannot check every 15 minutes. Many medical monitoring solutions alert caregivers when care is needed, but none until now alert caregivers when AlertPads™ are wet and require timely attention. Our dependable AlertWet® System informs Caregivers when our unique disposable wet-absorbing AlertPad™ is dry, damp, wet, wetter, soaked, and how long with volume estimates to help care for people without manual checking. Our innovation solves many caregivers' and providers' challenges in delivering exceptional care.

Nursing and Home care

Like hospital patients, nursing and home care residents desire to be dry with timely changes when wet and minimum disturbance while sleeping. Our AlertWet® System reduces night checks, allowing residents to get sleep without being disturbed. It also increases awareness, helping caregivers know when to get residents up to use the bathroom while reducing unnecessary linen changes.


"The patients would be agitated because we are checking them so often; with this system, we know they are okay and don't have to bother them as often."

Ben Henderson, CAN Maple Springs of Wasilla Skilled Nursing Facility

"We find that the system of tracking patient dryness useful for all of the residents using the system, but most notably in patients that are at a higher risk for skin breakdown or urinary tract infection. In these cases, we were able to have the staff use the notification system to change the patients more often because they were alerted to the wetness."

Nathan Dahl, Skilled Nursing Administrator Maple Springs of Wasilla Skilled Nursing Facility

"Caregivers feel the AlertWet® system improves residents care as it allows individualizing timing of changes based on resident needs."

Heidi Hamilton, Division Director Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Alaska Pioneer Homes

All care facilities with incontinent patients or residents that require manual checks and disposable wet-absorbant products can benefit from using our AlertWet® System. It's unrealistic for caregivers to check people in care every fifteen minutes and impossible for disposable wet-absorbant products without built-in intelligence to alert caregivers when attention is required. Given our aging population and the increasing number of incontinent people in care, our AlertWet® System can help caregivers provide superior care.
