ELECTRONIC CONTINENCE ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM

尿失禁是一个问题，约三分之一的成年人 超过65岁。依赖护理人员的医疗系统 在减少UI事件方面表现出的有效性， 记得提醒病人。其他方面有能力的患者 独立生活的人往往没有可靠的监护人。 因此，本项目的目的是测试一个新的可行性， 一种可以代替人类的电子增强系统（ECES） 使病人更有尊严。长期 目标是开发一种商业上可行的ECES， 患者和供应商的需求。 拟定商业应用： 电子增感系统（ECES）可用于 卫生保健提供者和他们的病人，以减少失禁发作 以及相关的不适和尴尬。

Urinary incontinence is a problem for approximately one-third of adults over 65 years of age. Prompting systems that rely on nursing staff have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing UI incidents when the staff remembers to prompt the patients. Patients who are otherwise capable of independent living often do not have the benefit of a reliable prompter. Thus the objective of this project is to test the feasibility of a novel electronic continence enhancement system (ECES) that can replace a human prompter and provide increased dignity to the patient. The long term objective is to develop a commercially feasible ECES that meets both patients' and providers' needs. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The electronic continence enhancement system (ECES) can be used by health care providers and their patients to reduce incontinent episodes and the related discomfort and embarrassment.
