Abstract: Sensor devices and systems for monitoring the basic needs of an infant comprising feeding, sleeping, and/or voiding (urinating and/or defecating) are described herein.

Abstract: Absorbent structures for absorbent articles are provided, comprising an absorbent layer with absorbent material containing superabsorbent polymer particles supported by a supporting sheet, and having first and a second substantially longitudinal channel that are free of said superabsorbent polymeric particles, and that comprises one or more adhesive material to immobilize said absorbent material. The channels can provide improved fit and/or liquid acquisition/transportation, and/or improved performance.

Abstract: Absorbent structures for diapers are provided, comprising, immobilized onto a supporting sheet, an absorbent layer with absorbent material containing superabsorbent polymer particles and therein, in the front region, a first and a second substantially longitudinal channel, each being free of said superabsorbent polymeric particles, for improved fit and/or performance throughout the use thereof.

Abstract: Monitoring systems are provided that include both visual and non-visual data to monitor the well-being of individuals, such as infants and patients.

Abstract: The invention provides an absorbent article comprising an indication means for indicating the presence of bodily exudates, the indication means comprising a color-changing indication means, wherein the absorbent article and the indication means form one integral unit, the article further comprising a indication device, which comprises a housing and a connection means, such that the indication device can be attached to the absorbent article and be detached from the absorbent article, wherein the indication device comprises a color sensor.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core includes a combination of superabsorbent polymer and cellulose fibers. The article further includes an acquisition-distribution layer; and at least one channel positioned within a layer located between the topsheet and the backsheet, the at least one channel being substantially free of fibers and superabsorbent polymer. An indentation occurs in at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet that correspond to the at least one channels when the article is loaded with fluid.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a pair of leg cuffs with an raised section and an absorbent core comprising at least one channel at least partially oriented in the longitudinal direction of the article. The article may have a crotch width before use as measured between the proximal edges of the leg cuffs at the level of the crotch point of from to 70 mm to 200 mm, and a Relative Crotch Width Reduction (RCWR) of 32 mm/kg to 150 mm/kg.

Abstract: Disposable absorbent diapers are provided with improved comfort, fit and liquid transportation. The absorbent core of the disposable absorbent diapers includes at least one absorbent structure having a substrate layer and an absorbent layer with channels.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.

Abstract: The present invention provides an absorbent article comprising topsheet, backsheet and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet, and further comprising fastening elements for securing the article around the waist of a wearer, wherein the article comprises an attachment region for securing the fastening elements in the waist region and for securing a wearable sensing device to the side of the backsheet opposite to the absorbent core; wherein the attachment region comprises a single discrete material and in that the attachment region overlies a sensor attachment point S, the sensor attachment point S defined as a point placed on the longitudinal axis at a distance of one quarter (1/4) of length L of the absorbent article starting from a front edge of the absorbent article. The present invention further relates to a system comprising the absorbent article and a wearable sensing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent article comprising topsheet, backsheet and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet, and further comprising fastening elements for securing the article around the waist of a wearer, wherein the article comprises at least two attachment regions: a first attachment region for securing the fastening elements in the waist region; and a second attachment region for securing a wearable sensing device, the second attachment region being located on the side of the backsheet opposite to the absorbent core; wherein the first attachment region has a first surface and the second attachment region has a second surface and wherein the first surface is different from the second surface. The present invention further relates to a system comprising the absorbent article and a wearable sensing device. The present invention further relates to a method of attaching a wearable sensing device to an absorbent article.

Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent articles comprising at least one attachment region for securing a wearable sensing device and further comprising visible placement indicia aligned with the attachment region wherein the visible placement indicia aids the placement of the wearable sensing device on the absorbent article. The present invention further relates to a system comprising the absorbent article and the wearable sensing device. The present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing an absorbent article comprising visible placement indicia aligned with a wetness indicator and/or attachment region.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.
