Ucollect
A wearable solution for gathering a urine sample will be developed to allow persons who suffer from incontinence or/and dementia the most possible mobility and independency and to protect their dignity. Ideally the product is as comfortable as an incontinence diaper. It will be applicable for men and women. The affected persons do not have to sit on the toilet or lie in bed until there is enough urine collected. A sensor applied to the product will notify the caregivers via an app when there is enough urine collected. From the very first beginning end-users are involved in the process and additionally specialists, like doctors and laboratory technicians, will be consulted. Testing of the prototype will be done both in outpatient care and inpatient long-term care in Denmark and The Netherlands, whereby users are affected persons as well as caregivers. Quantitative data, like the quality and amount of the urine, and qualitative findings in form of questionnaire
and interviews will be evaluated and reported.
