Multi-sensor baby care monitoring system

Abstract

A multi-sensor baby care monitoring system includes a wetness sensor configured to generate a first signal relating to an occurrence of a wetness event relative to a wetness containment device, such as a diaper. The monitoring system further includes a human life sensor configured to generate a second signal relating to a presence or absence of a human relative to the wetness containment device. If desired, a system controller may be used for receiving the first and second signals and generating data associated with the wetness event and the presence or absence of said human.

1 . A diaper operable with a monitoring system, said monitoring system comprising:
 a wetness sensor configured to generate a first signal relating to an occurrence of a wetness event occurring within said diaper;   a human life sensor configured to generate a second signal relating to a presence or absence of a human relative to said diaper, wherein said wetness sensor and said human life sensor are detachably connected to said diaper; and   wherein said monitoring system further comprises:   a system controller for receiving said first and second signals, and responsively generating data associated with said wetness event and said presence or absence of said human.
