Description

[0001] Patient management system using diaper for adult [

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a patient management system using an adult diaper, and more particularly, to an adult diaper unit capable of detecting whether or not a diaper wearer is discharged from a remote place.

In general, a diaper is used to receive feces of people who can not hide urine and feces (for example, infants and dementia patients) or those who are not comfortable in their behavior (for example, patients and elderly people). A person wearing a diaper can not change a diaper after himself or herself, and usually a caregiver (for example, a parent, a family member, a nurse, a nurse, etc.) changes the diaper.

However, since infants and dementia patients can not express their opinions properly even after having seen urine or feces, diapers containing feces are often worn for a long time. In this case, there is a risk of damaging the skin of the diaper wearer due to the toxicity of the excretion and the moisture contained in the excretion. That is, if a diaper having dung for a long time is worn, there is a risk of causing various skin diseases such as skin rash and eczema. In addition, the protector has a problem that the diaper wearer has to check whether or not the diaper wearer has seen the sucking feces in order to prevent the diaper wearer from wearing the diaper with the slurry for a long time.
