About the project
Connected Health and Arrow Electronics have developed an innovative and patented non-invasive incontinence monitor, called airCeption. Uniquely airCeption boasts the ability to be a remote and fully no-contact device. airCeption scans the ambient air surrounding an incontinent sufferer, searching for wetting or soiling episodes. Upon detection, airCeption transmits an alert to a dedicated member of staff allowing a prompt and well-managed care response.
Being a remote healthcare offering, all the relevant technical compliance guidelines are adhered to, including, GDPR, HIPPA, ENISA, CoP & Azure Best Practice, as well as having FCC + CE(ETSI) pre-scan checks passed.
The goal now is to fully validate the technology across relevant healthcare sectors, which include, though not limited to, Hospital Care, Nursing-home Care, EMI Care, Domiciliary/Home Care, Hospice Care, Neonatal Care.
