The diaper changing process for elders is highly manual and time-consuming, making it one of the top 3 least enjoyable tasks among local Care staff across the pilot CCOs.
Summary of observation findings:
- An average of 10% of each work shift is spent on diaper changes
- Each diaper change takes approximately 3 minutes
*Findings were based on data from 3 CCOs covered during the work trial
The implementation of a wearable bladder sensor provides an efficient and holistic solution to minimise the time needed to perform these tasks.
The desired outcomes include:
- Reduced number of diaper checks and changes
- Enhanced employee efficiency and experience
- Support independent toileting
The Dfree Wearable Device has the capability to track toilet-care times and create graphs to support visualisation of toilet usage patterns.
Case Study by Dfree found:
- Reduced caregiver time when assisting patients with bladder control issues by 30%
- Reduced diaper and pad costs by 50%
- Capability to track toilet-care times and create graphs to support visualisation of toilet usage patterns
Benefits of this solution
