Suma Care, founded in 2012 and led by CEO Jörn Hamdorf, developed a sensor called Wear&Care, an intelligent solution designed to make enhance the care for and dignity for people suffering from incontinence. The sensor registers the amount of fluid in the diaper and when the fluid in the diaper has reached a predetermined level, a small transmitter, located on the outside of the diaper, notifies personnel that the diaper needs to be changed. This eliminates the need for continuous diaper checks and insures that the diaper is changed at the right time.
