Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting and quantifying a fluid are described herein. In some examples, a sensor apparatus is used to absorb discharged fluid (or other fluid present). The sensor apparatus includes one or more sensors designed to provide a capacitance measurement using electrodes in the sensors and one or more fluid properties sensors that determine at least one fluid property of an absorbed fluid. The electrodes are designed using mirror image axes of deformation to minimize the effect of deformation caused by the wearer of the sensor while still allowing some degree of flexibility for comfort. The person wearing one or more of the sensors may be monitored and cared for remotely using a communication system between the local device and a remote device used by a caregiver or medical practitioner.
