AUTOMATIC BED-WETTING DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING IOT TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In modern child care systems, maintaining an infant's hygiene and health is crucial, especially in managing bed-wetting, a common problem among young children. This invention introduces an loT-based solution using sensors, a controller/processor unit, an actuator system, and other electronic components to detect moisture automatically and replace wet sheets, ensuring a dry and hygienic sleeping environment for infants. The system leverages wireless communication protocols to integrate seamlessly with a smartphone application, enabling caregivers to monitor and manage the device in real time. This innovation reduces caregiver stress, promotes healthy sleep for children, and minimizes the risk of infections caused by prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
THE FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention pertains to child care systems, focusing on loT-based solutions for the
automatic detection and management of bed-wetting in infants to ensure a healthy and hygienic
environment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Bed-wetting, or enuresis, is a common problem among infants and young children, leading
to various health issues if not managed promptly. Traditional methods, such as alarms and
continuous diaper usage, are either inefficient or unhealthy, causing skin rashes and other
complications. Existing systems lack real-time monitoring and autonomous response capabilities,
requiring frequent manual intervention from parents or caregivers. This invention addresses these
challenges by introducing a non-invasive, automated bed-wetting detection system utilizing loT
technology, ensuring immediate action to replace wet sheets and notifY caregivers through a
smartphone application.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The proposed invention introduces an loT -based system for detecting and managing bed-wetting in
infants. The system comprises a sensor to detect moisture, a controller/processor unit for data
processing, and an actuator system to replace wet sheets with dry ones automatically. Integration with
a cloud-based platform facilitates real-time monitoring and control via a smartphone application. This
invention optimizes the caregiving process by providing timely alerts and autonomous actions,
reducing health risks associated with prolonged wetness exposure and enhancing the overall wellbeing
of infants



COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Specifications
The system for automatic bed-wetting detection and management comprises:
• Moisture Detection Module: Utilizes a sensor to detect moisture levels in the bedding.
• Controller/Processor Unit: A central processing unit that processes sensor data and sends
commands to the actuator system. · ·
• Actuator System: Receives instructions from the controller/processor unit to operate and
replace the wet sheet with a dry one.
• Communication Module: Integrates with a cloud-based platform to provide real-time data
transmission and control through wireless protocols.
• Smartphone Application: A user-friendly interface that allows caregivers to monitor
system status and receive alerts.
• Power Supply Unit: Ensures the continuous operation of all system components.



DESCRIPTION
The automatic bed-wetting detection and management system uses an loT -based approach to
monitor moisture levels in an infant's bedding. When moisture is detected by the sensor, a signal
is sent to the controller/processor unit, which then processes the data and activates the actuator
system. The actuator system replaces the wet sheet with a dry one, ensuring that the infant remains
dry and comfortable. The system also sends a notification to a connected smartphone application
via a cloud-based platform, alerting caregivers of the bed-wetting incident and the actions taken.
The system is designed to be scalable and adaptable, allowing integration with various other loT
devices and platforms. The smartphone application enables caregivers to monitor the device's
status, adjust settings, and manage alerts remotely, enhancing user convenience and system
efficiency.
Overall, this invention offers a cost-effective, non-invasive solution for managing bed-wetting
in infants, reducing the stress and effort required by caregivers, and promoting a healthier sleep
environment for children.
