Abstract
In recent years the rapid technological development in printable electronics technology has made it possible to develop sensors and circuits for wearable medical devices using flexible substrate. In this paper a novel implementation of flexible capacitive sensors to detect and quantify human excreta inside adult diaper is explored. The flexible capacitive sensors are implemented in co-planar geometry by using conductive strips, paint and conductive fabric which are easily available in the market. The developed sensors are used to detect and quantify the fluid and concentration of electrolytes in-vitro (adult diaper and glass jar). An impedance analyzer is used to perform measurements from the sensor and collect necessary specifications in developing suitable printable sensors for a diaper.Description
Funding Information: The development of coplanar capacitive sensor is executed at laboratories of Aalto University under Urisens project funded by Business Finland and EHIR funded by Academy of Finland.
