inContAlert is a Germany-based start-up that developed a wearable technology that scans the bladder unobtrusively throughout the day. The wearable is worn two fingers above the pubic bone and fastened with the waistband of the underpants, a smart belt, or a patch. Analyzing the patient’s data through deep learning algorithms, the information is then displayed on an app (outpatient/ private use) or a dashboard solution (clinical use). It ultimately sends an alert to the incontinence patient or nurse when a predefined filling level is reached.
