Entry Description

Urinary incontinence is reported as one of the most negatively affecting “health-related quality of life” condition. Since urinary incontinence does not directly bear up against the life-threatening conditions, there was a lack of awareness among professionals. This project focuses on improving the life qualities of overflow incontinent patients, and help them regain self-esteem, as well as the autonomy over their body. By using wearable devices, which act like a vitro nerve indicator or the third organ, the physiological information are translated into tangible ways.
