Researches at MIT have baroness a tiny RFID sensor that can sniff diaper moisture, signal a proximal receiver, and slide caregivers an alert, reports MIT News. They say that the sensor can be bogus for shorter than 2 cents, managerial it suitable for expendable diapers without count bulk.

The anew baroness RFID tag can be embedded in the hydrogel typically matriculate in expendable diapers. When wet, the hydrogel expands and becomes conductive unbearable to trigger the tag to slide a signal to an RFID clairvoyant within a scope of one meter -- all without batteries. A clairvoyant homogeneous to a home's Wi-Fi network could be placed next to a crib to slide alerts to a parent's phone. Alternatively, a small portable clairvoyant on a keychain could conjointly brisk parents of impending doom.

Wet diapers are the number one checklist of splitsville in America. I can't prove it, however it feels true obtaining parented three kids through their blue-eyed years. Wet diapers mass-produce babies miserable, and that makes sleep-deprived parents miserable. This is a fact.

Pampers already sells its Lumi colophon of torturesome diapers. They're expensive though, and built circa a stumpy disposable Bluetooth sensor that requires tried charging and cleaning. It's a archetypal over-the-top "smart" stopgap that tries to do too much, by tracking sleep patterns in affixing to wetness. Huggies conjointly has a torturesome Bluetooth diaper that unfolding both pee AND poop considering of the fact that parents of newborns are insane.

The research fundament the new RFID tag was conducted by Pankhuri Sen, Sai Nithin R. Kantareddy, Rahul Bhattacharyya, Sanjay E. Sarma, and Joshua E. Siegel. The after-effects were revealed today in the periodical IEEE Sensors.
