    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    [001] The present invention relates to a method, computer program and a mobile device for monitoring the use of a hygiene product, in which information related to the use of the hygiene product is provided to the user of the product or product user care provider based on information related to the product user's urination behavior. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [002] Nowadays, it is common for children and adults to use various types of hygiene products, such as disposable diapers, incontinence pads, sanitary pads, etc..
    [003] Users of incontinence products sometimes may have difficulty selecting the correct type of product in the incontinence product market, that is, selecting the most suitable product for the individual needs of the user. This is emphasized by the fact that users of incontinence products are often elderly or disabled people.
    [004] Inadequate monitoring and exchange of absorbent products can cause urinary and fecal leakage out of the product. For many people who suffer from incontinence, this is a huge problem, often causing feelings of shame and humiliation.
    [005] For this reason, there is a need for methods and devices to help these users in monitoring their use of hygiene products and in finding suitable hygiene products that are adapted to their own needs.
    [006] Several solutions for better monitoring the use of absorbent articles are known from the state of the art.
    [007] US 2007/0252713 discloses an absorbent sensor pad worn by a patient. One or more sensors that measure urine clearance parameters are integrally formed in the pad. Sensors can include impedance sensors, strain gauges, temperature sensors, accelerometers, pH sensors, and chemical sensors that measure humidity, volume, temperature, pH and urine content excreted by a patient, as well as posture and the patient's activity. The urinary data detected by the sensors can be stored in a voiding log that can be transmitted to an external device connected to the sensors.
    [008] US 2009/0062758 refers to a wetting monitoring system for, for example, a diaper. The system includes a humidity sensor capable of counting the number of discrete insults, and an alarm that is triggered after a critical number of insults, or when a certain period of time has elapsed since the last product change.
    [009] US 2011/0263952 discloses an incontinence management system for monitoring moisture in absorbent articles. The system comprises input for receiving signals indicative of a sensor for the presence of moisture in an absorbent article and an interface for communicating with a user of the system.
    [010] However, known solutions for the use of absorbent monitoring articles often involve complex and expensive products and/or control systems that are not readily available to the public. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [011] It is an object of the present invention to solve or at least alleviate one or more of the aforementioned problems.
    [012] In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cost efficient and readily available method for monitoring the use of hygiene products.
    [013] Another objective of the invention is to provide a method that can help prevent any late replacement of absorbent products.
    [014] These and other objectives are also addressed in the co-pending patent applications PCT/SE2011/051.565, PCT/SE2011/051.566, PCT/SE2011/051.551, and PCT/SE2011/051558, filed by the applicant of this patent application in December 2011 and are not available to the public on the date of submission of this application.
    [015] These copending applications describe inventions relating to different mobile device applications (so-called "apps") for monitoring the use of absorbent products such as incontinence pads. Mobile device applications collect all information that is relevant to the urination behavior of a user of a product of this type, in order to provide product-related information to the product user as to the use of the absorbent product, based on the information collected. The information collected may be information indicative of actual urinary and/or fecal insults, or it may be other information that affects or potentially affects the urination behavior of the product user.
    [016] In some basic versions of some of these mobile device apps, the collected information may contain an indication that urination has occurred, so the product-related information may comprise a notification that there may be a need to replace the product. absorbent, which is displayed on the product user's mobile device.
    [017] In the more refined versions of some of these mobile device apps, these are adapted to obtain "capacity information" related to the capacity of the absorbent product used by the user, and to present recommendations regarding the use of the absorbent product based on a comparison between the user's urination behavior, as determined from the collected information, and the capacity of the absorbent product. If, for example, the information collected indicates that the product user has had a certain number of urine and/or feces insults that are well below the absorbent product's capacity, the product-related information provided to the product user may include the information that indicates no exchange of absorbent product is required at this time. If, however, the information collected indicates that the product user has had a number of urine and/or stool insults that is close to the maximum capacity of the absorbent product, the product-related information may include a recommendation to change the product . If it is found that the capacity of the absorbent product is too high or too low for the voiding behavior of the user of the product, the product related information may comprise a recommendation to replace the product with another product that has a higher or higher absorbency bottom, displayed on the product user's mobile device.
    [018] The present invention relates to a method that improves these and any other mobile device applications for monitoring the use of hygiene products by providing a solution that allows such mobile device application to provide product-related information based on also in information that is obtained by other mobile device apps, but still relevant to the product user's urination behavior. By incorporating into a mobile device application for monitoring the use of hygiene products the functionality to retrieve information from an information storage database that is relevant to the product user's urination behavior, obtained through the use of other applications From mobile device, more information about the use of these hygiene product can be obtained by the mobile device application, and thus, more information related to the product can be provided in a way more relevant to the user of the product. The information obtained from the database can be used to increase the intelligence of the mobile device application for monitoring hygiene product usage, for example, by adapting an algorithm used by the mobile device application to predict future urination by the user of the product based on the information obtained.
    [019] The invention therefore provides a method that is performed on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, by running a first mobile device application for monitoring the use of a hygiene product worn by a user. The method comprises the steps of retrieving information relevant to the user's urination behavior from a database that stores information obtained by at least one second mobile device application that is different than said first mobile device application, and provide product-related information based on the information retrieved for the product user or a caregiver of the product user.
    [020] Thus, the invention suggests the use of a "cross-sharing database" from which information that is relevant to a user's urination behavior, obtained through a mobile device application, can be retrieved by another mobile device application to monitor the usage of a hygiene product used by that user.
    [021] Information relevant to the product user's urination behavior may include data on the product user's actual urination behavior, for example, the time, type and amount of one or more urinary and/or fecal insults, and/or data about the user of the product itself or other behaviors or routines of the user of the product that affect or may affect the urination behavior of the user of the product. Non-exclusive examples of relevant urination information that affects or potentially affects the urination behavior of the product user and that can be stored and retrieved from the cross-sharing database are:- data on the age and sex of the product user (user data); - data on the health and use of medicines of the product user (health data); - data on the ingestion of fluid and/or solid edible material by the product user (input data);- data on exercise routines of the product user (exercise data), and data on the sleep routines of the product user (sleep data).
    [022] The first mobile device application can further be configured to collect voiding information related to the actual voiding behavior data of the user of the product, and to provide the product related information based on a comparison between the related information. urination and the information retrieved from the cross-sharing database. The information related to urination can be collected by the first mobile device application by means of manual data entry by the user of the product, and/or by means of one or more sensor devices capable of obtaining the information indicative of actual urine excretion. and/or feces by the user of the product.
    [023] Preferably, the first mobile device application is configured to predict future voiding behavior of the product user based on information obtained from the cross-sharing database, and to provide the product-related information based on the predictable future urination behavior. The prediction can be based on a comparison between the voiding-related information obtained by the first mobile device application itself and the information retrieved from the cross-sharing database.
    [024] As mentioned above, the information retrieved from the cross-sharing database may be information about product user behaviors or routines that affect the product user's voiding behavior, for example, information about consumption behavior, the exercise behavior and/or the sleep behavior of the product user. By comparing this information with the urination-related information obtained by the first mobile device app itself, the first mobile device app can learn how other product user behaviors and routines affect the product user's urination behavior. This knowledge can then be used by the first mobile device app in predicting the future of urination by the product user, and thus make the first mobile device app able to provide product-related information in the form of useful recommendations in relation to the use of the hygiene product to the product user or a caregiver of the product user. Using a slightly different formulation, the first mobile device application can be said to determine a correlation between the product user's voiding behavior and other product user behaviors and routines, which correlation is used to predict future voiding behavior of the product. user of the product.
    [025] The first and at least the second mobile device application thus form a set of mobile device applications that together serve to analyze how the different behaviors and routines of the product user affect their urination behavior, so as to provide recommendations as useful as possible regarding the use of hygiene products.
    [026] Preferably, the first and the at least second mobile device application are members of a group of mobile device applications configured to monitor the use of a wearable hygiene product by a user. These mobile device apps can all be configured to obtain relevant excretion information about the product user, and transmit the obtained information to the cross-sharing database. Some or all of the mobile device apps may still be configured to retrieve pertinent voiding information obtained by other mobile device apps from the cross-sharing database, and use that information to provide relevant product-related information regarding the use of hygiene products for the user of the product.
    [027] The first and at least second mobile device apps may, for example, be different apps from a group comprising:
    [028] 1) a mobile device application, hereinafter referred to as "Sleep Safety", in which relevant information about a user's urination behavior is obtained by analyzing the user's movements, recorded by means of a device of motion detection from a mobile device, similar to the mobile device application described in PCT/SE2011/051565
    [029] 2) a mobile device application, hereinafter referred to as "Daily Record", in which the relevant information about a user's urination behavior is obtained by manually inputting at least information related to the ingestion of edible material fluid and/or solid by the user, and information related to the user's excretion of urine and/or feces, similar to the mobile device application described in PCT/SE2011/051566
    [030] 3) a mobile device application, hereinafter referred to as "Cushion Scanner", in which the relevant information about the voiding behavior of a user is obtained by analyzing images of used absorbent products, captured by a device. image capture from a mobile device, similar to the mobile device application described in PCT/SE2011/051.551, and
    [031] 4) an application of a mobile device, hereinafter referred to as "Reassure", in which the relevant information about the voiding behavior of a user is obtained by analyzing the signals received from an odor sensing device capable of detect chemicals indicative of the presence of urine and/or feces, similar to the mobile device application described in PCT/SE2011/051558.
    [032] In one embodiment, the cross-sharing database is particularly intended for exchanging relevant urination information between the Sleep Safety and Daily Record applications. For example, the Sleep Safety application can be configured to provide relevant voiding information related to the user's movement recorded in the cross-sharing database, where the Daily Record application can be configured to use this information in conjunction with the information. manually entered by the user into the Daily Log application in order to more accurately predict future urine and/or stool insults by the product user.
    [033] The cross-sharing database can be a single-user database from which a user of the first mobile device application can only retrieve pertinent excretion information about their own person and behaviors. In other embodiments, the cross-sharing database is a multi-user database, which means that the first mobile device application can retrieve pertinent urination information about other users of the at least one second mobile device application. In this way, personal data information on how other users' behaviors and routines affect their urinary behaviors can be retrieved from the database by the first mobile device application and used to predict the future voiding behavior of the product user.
    [034] Preferably, the first mobile device application is further configured to obtain capacity information related to the capacity of the hygiene product used by the user of the mobile device application, and to provide the product related information based on information related to urination (obtained by the first mobile device app itself or retrieved from the cross-sharing database) and said capacity information. This allows the first mobile device app to provide product-related information in the form of reasoned recommendations regarding the use of the hygiene product, as the product-related information can be based on a comparison between the user's urination behavior. product and the capacity of the hygiene product.
    [035] The capacity information can comprise any of, or any combination of, the type of absorbent product, the level of absorbency of the absorbent product, and the size of the sanitary product. Capacity information may be obtained from user input and/or receipt of information from a product database, which may or may not form part of the cross-sharing database.
    [036] As mentioned above, the first mobile device app can be configured to use the relevant urination information retrieved from the cross-sharing database to predict future urine and/or feces insults by the product user. It can also be configured to predict the amount of urine and/or feces likely to be excreted in the future based on the collected information, and additionally information, related to urination obtained by the first mobile device app itself, and provide information related to the product based on the amount of urine and/or feces expected to be excreted in the future.
    [037] As also mentioned above, the first mobile device application can be configured to obtain capacity information related to the capacity of the hygiene product, in which case the information related to the product can be provided based on a comparison between the capacity of the hygiene product and the amount of urine and/or faeces expected to be excreted in the future.
    [038] For example, the first mobile device application can be configured to determine a maximum value of urine and/or feces that can be retained by the hygiene product based on said capacity information, and determine, for a certain point in the future, the amount of urine and/or faeces likely to be excreted by the product user at that point in time, based on said product user's predicted future urination behavior. The recommendation can then be based on a comparison between said maximum amount and the amount of urine and/or faeces likely to be excreted at said point in future time. The maximum amount of urine and/or faeces that can be retained by the hygiene product and the amount of urine and/or faeces likely to be excreted in the future are preferably determined by the first mobile device app as discrete numbers of insults urine and/ or feces. If the amount excreted at the future point in time exceeds or is close to the maximum value that can be retained by the sanitary product, the product-related information provided by the first mobile device app can be a recommendation to change the sanitary product before the point in future time.
    [039] In the above scenario, the product-related information provided by the first mobile device application comprises a recommendation to exchange the product before the amount excreted exceeds the amount that can be retained by the product. In general, however, the product related information can be any information about the use of the hygiene product. For example, product-related information may comprise any of, or any combination of: an indication that no product exchange is required; an indication that elimination of urine and/or feces has occurred and that it may be advisable to change the product; a recommendation to change the product; a recommendation to change the product before a certain period of time; and, a recommendation to exchange the product for another hygiene product with greater or lesser capacity than the product currently used.
    [040] In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the first mobile device application is the Diary Record application which obtains information about consumption and excretion behaviors from the product user by manually entering information into a Diary Record, and The at least second mobile app is the Sleep Safety app which obtains urination-related information about the product user's urination behavior during the night period by analyzing the product user's sleep movements. The Daily Record app retrieves the urination-related information obtained by the Sleep Safety app from the cross-sharing database and analyzes the relationship between user ingestion and purge during the day and the user's urination behavior during the day. the night period. Based on this analysis, the Daily Record app can learn to predict the product user's urination behavior during the night following a day that has a certain intake/voiding pattern. The Daily Record app can then provide the product-related information to the product user based on this prediction. For example, the Daily Log may display at night a notification to the product user that it is likely that the sanitary product will need to be changed before a certain point in time during the upcoming night, in order to prevent urinary product leaks. .
    [041] The first mobile device application can be configured to provide product-related information to the product user through visual, audible and/or vibrating signaling on the mobile device, and/or on a communication device to which the mobile device is communicatively connectable, for example, a mobile device of a caregiver of the product user. Preferably, both the content of the product-related information and the way in which the product-related information is provided to the product user and/or the caregiver is determined based, at least in part, on the relevant voiding information retrieved from the cross-sharing database.
    [042] As is clear from the above description, the method according to the invention is a computer-implemented method executed by a mobile device by executing a computer program (ie, the first mobile device application) . Thus, in accordance with another aspect of the invention, a computer program is provided for monitoring a wearer's use of a sanitary product. The computer program is configured to make a mobile device perform the method when executed by a mobile device processor.
    [043] The invention also provides a computer program product comprising a non-volatile memory for storing computer readable instructions, wherein the aforementioned computer program is encoded in said non-volatile memory.
    [044] In addition, the invention provides a mobile device for monitoring the use of a hygiene product worn by a user. The mobile device comprises a processor and a storage means for storing computer programs executable by said processor, said storage means above storing said computer program. The mobile device further comprises a communication unit for connecting and for retrieving relevant urination information from the cross-sharing database.
    [045] Preferably, the mobile device further comprises: - a motion detection device, such as an accelerometer, to record the movements of the product user when the mobile device is carried by the product user or placed next to the product user in bed; - input means to allow a user to manually enter information relating to the user's inlet behavior and urination behavior; - an image sensor device, such as an integrated camera, for capturing images of used absorbent products, for example incontinence articles, e- a communication unit for communicating with an odor sensing device configured to detect at least one chemical indicative of the presence of urine and/or faeces in a hygiene product.
    [046] According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided a system of software components comprising a first mobile device application, at least a second mobile device application, and a database. The first mobile device app is a mobile device application for monitoring the use of the hygiene product used by a user and configured to provide product related information to the user such as for the use of the hygiene product, eg in shape of recommendations on when to change the product. The at least second app, mobile is an information-gathering mobile device app that is relevant to the user's voiding behavior, for example, information about the wearer's actual voiding behavior, about the wearer himself, and/or others wearer behaviors that affect urination behavior. The second mobile device app is configured to transmit the collected information to the database, which in turn is configured to store the information. The first mobile device app is configured to retrieve the information stored in the database, and to provide the product related information to the product user based on the collected information. The database is therefore a cross-sharing database in the sense of allowing different mobile device applications to share the information stored in it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DESCRIPTION OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE INVENTION
    [055] Figure 1 illustrates a mobile device (1) for carrying out the method according to the invention. The mobile device (1) in Figure 1 is a mobile phone in the form of what is often referred to as a smartphone, but it should be appreciated that the mobile device according to the invention can be any type of portable computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or tablet computer, designed and configured as described below.
    [056] The mobile device (1) comprises a motion sensing device (2) in the form of an integrated accelerometer to record motion data indicative of the movement of the mobile device. Such accelerometers are well known in the prior art and used in many mobile devices today. The accelerometer (2) is operable to record the movement of a person carrying the mobile device, and preferably also to record the movements of a sleeping person when the mobile device (1) is placed on the bed next to the sleeping person. Although the motion detection device (2) in a preferred embodiment of the invention is embodied in the form of an integrated accelerometer of the mobile device (1), other types of motion detection devices may be used instead of or in addition to an accelerometer. For example, the motion detection device may include a mobile device gyroscope (1).
    [057] Furthermore, the mobile device (1) comprises an integrated image capture device (3) to capture images and record video to be subsequently stored in the mobile device (1). Such image capture devices (3) are generally known and typically comprise an image sensor and a lens (not shown) which are used, for example, in mobile phones for capturing photographic images.
    [058] The mobile device (1) further comprises a processor (4) to process the data. Data can be received from communication devices, to which the mobile device (1) is communicatively connectable through a network, or stored in a digital storage medium processor (5) of the mobile device, said storage medium being accessible by the processor (4). The mobile device (1) is further equipped with a communication unit (6) for communicating with external devices, such as other mobile devices or nodes of communication networks to which the mobile device (1) is connectable.
    [059] The mobile device (1) further comprises a screen (7) for displaying information from a user, and, if performed in the form of a touch screen, also to receive information from the user in the form of user input. The mobile device (1) may also include other known means for inputting and outputting signals and information, such as buttons, microphones, speakers, etc.
    [060] The mobile device (1) can be operated to perform all method steps of the method of the invention, method steps which will be described in more detail below, by executing a computer program stored on the storage media (5 ).
    [061] The computer program stored on the mobile device (1) is realized in the form of a mobile device application, sometimes referred to as an APP, which is a software application specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. . The mobile device application is preferably downloaded to the storage medium (5) of a transfer server to which the mobile device (1) is connectable. The mobile device application can further be tailored for a particular mobile operating system, such as Apple iOS, Google Android or Blackberry OS, and distributed via popular application delivery platforms.
    [062] It should, therefore, be appreciated that the terms "mobile device applications", and "APP" below refer to a computer program in the form of a mobile device application that is stored on the storage medium (5 ) of the mobile device (1).
    [063] As illustrated in Figure 1, the mobile device (1) stores a plurality of different mobile device applications (A1 to A4), each represented by a box illustrating an icon that can be tapped by a user to run the application. At least one of the mobile device apps (A1 to A4) is intended to be used by people suffering from incontinence to help them control their daily use of toiletries.
    [064] A hygiene product can here be any product to retain urine and/or feces excreted by a user of the product. In particular, the sanitary product may be an absorbent personal care article, such as a male or female incontinence protector, a sanitary absorbent, a panty protector or a diaper, for example a diaper, with tape fasteners, a pants-type diaper or a belted diaper. The user of the hygiene product is the intended user of the mobile device applications (A1 to A4) and can hereinafter be referred to as either a "product holder" or a "user".
    [065] The mobile device apps (A1 to A4) are all configured to collect information that is relevant to the user's voiding behavior, which is referred to herein as "relevant voiding information". Unlike what is referred to herein as "voiding-related information", relevant voiding information need not be related to the user's actual voiding behavior, but can refer to anything that impacts the voiding behavior. The content of the pertinent excretion information and the form of collection may differ between different applications (A1 to A4), as will be described in more detail below. The mobile device applications (A1 to A4) can be further configured to provide product related information for the use of the hygiene product to the user, based on the relevant urination information obtained by the respective mobile device application. Product-related information often includes recommendations on when to change the hygiene product.
    [066] Referring now to Figure 2a, mobile device applications (A1 to A4) are further configured to transmit relevant urination information to a cross-sharing database (8), in which it is stored. The cross-sharing database (8) may reside on a server (9) to which various mobile devices (1a), (1b) running one or more of the mobile device applications (A1 to A4) are communicatively linked such as a application server on the Internet. In this modality, the cross-sharing database (8) is a multi-user database that stores relevant urination information about various users of mobile device applications (A1 to A4).
    [067] In another embodiment, illustrated in Figure 2b, the cross-sharing database (8) is a single-user database residing on the mobile device itself (1). In this embodiment, the cross-sharing database (8) and the different mobile device applications (A1 to A4) that collect relevant urination information could all be stored on the storage medium (5) of the mobile device.
    [068] The relevant urination information obtained by the mobile device applications (A1 to A4) and stored in the cross sharing database (8) can be any information that is relevant to the user's urination behavior. It can understand information about actual urinary and/or fecal insults by the user (ie, urination related information), obtained by different mobile device applications (A1 to A4), through the use of sensors and/or through manual input of information. It can further comprise information on user and/or user behaviors that affect or potentially affect the user's urination behavior, it can also be obtained through various sensors of the mobile device (1) and/or through input information manual in the different mobile device applications.
    [069] As illustrated in Figure 2a, the multi-user cross-sharing database (8) can comprise a plurality of tables (T1 to T6) in which the relevant urination information is stored. In this exemplary embodiment, the following tables are included in the database: - Users, (Tl): Stores data about users of mobile device applications (A1 to A4) and may, for example, include information on the age of the users, the sex of the users, etc.; - Excretion, (T2): stores excretion-related information about actual and/or predicted insults of urine and/or feces by users and may, for example, include information about the timing of each an insult, the type of insult (ie, urinary or fecal insult), the amount of each insult, etc.; - Admission, (T3): stores ingestion data on the ingestion of fluid and/or solid edible material by part of users and can, for example, include information about the point in time of each entry, the type of consumption (ie fluid or solid), the amount of each entry, etc.; - Health, (T4): stores data from users' health and may, for example, include information about diseases that affect users, the use of medications by users, etc.; - Exercise, (T5): stores exercise data on users' exercise routines and can, for example, include information on when and for how long. users exercise, what kind of activities are performed, etc.; - Sleep, (T6): stores sleep data on users' sleep routines and can, for example, include information on when and how long users sleep.
    [070] The single-user cross-sharing (8) database in Figure 2b may include corresponding tables (Ti to T6) with the only difference that it only contains information about a single user.
    [071] As understood by the person skilled in the art, the mobile device apps (A1 to A4) that obtain the relevant urination information can be any type of mobile device app and are not limited to mobile device apps particularly intended to control the use of hygiene products. For example, the intake information can be obtained by an application for the control of a user's diet, the health information can be obtained by an application for the control of medication intake for one or more diseases from which the user suffers , exercise information can be obtained by an exercise app to keep track of the user's exercise routines, and sleep information can be obtained by an app to track the user's sleep behavior, all configured to transmit the information obtained for the cross-sharing database (8) for later use by a mobile device app to monitor the use of toiletries.
    [072] Preferably, however, mobile device apps (A1 to A4) that obtain the relevant urination information are also configured to monitor the use of hygiene products. In this case, mobile device apps (A1 to A4) form a set of mobile device apps specifically designed to monitor the use of hygiene products, and provide a user with recommendations as to that use. By sharing the information obtained by the different applications, the intelligence of the respective application can be increased and better-founded recommendations for the use of hygiene products can be provided to the user.
    [073] Preferably, either the mobile device app that provides the product-related information to the product user based on the relevant voiding information retrieved from the cross-sharing database, or the mobile device app that originally retrieves the information and providing them to the cross-sharing database, are part of a group consisting of four mobile device applications, hereinafter called "Sleep Safety", "Daily Record", "Pillow Scanner" and " Reassure". These mobile device applications are new developments of the mobile device applications described in the co-pending patent applications PCT/SE2011/051.565, PCT/SE2011/051.566, PCT/SE2011/051.551, and PCT/SE2011/051.558, are not publicly available on the date of submission of this application. SLEEP SAFETY
    [074] Sleep Safety is a mobile device application to monitor the use of a hygiene product based on user movements, ie the user of the hygiene product. In particular, as the name implies, Sleep Safety is intended to monitor the use of the product while the user is sleeping. The app makes use of the findings that people who suffer from incontinence are more likely to excrete urine and feces in light sleep stages. It also makes use of the fact that increased sleep movement is an indication of light sleep. By recording the sleep movement of the person wearing the absorbent product, related product information that facilitates the use of the product can be derived and provided to the product user or their caregiver.
    [075] For this purpose, Sleep Security records the movement of the user of the product through the movement detection device (2) of the mobile device (1), evaluates whether the recorded movement is indicative of urine elimination and/or stool by the product user, and provides product-related information such as the use of the hygiene product based on the assessment.
    [076] Figure 3 illustrates an example of a signal (f), hereinafter referred to as wake signal, obtained by the Sleep Safety application using the mobile device (1) motion detection device (2). The wake sensor signal (f) is used by Sleep Safety to determine whether the product user has likely excreted urine and/or feces, and, based on that determination, to provide the product user or the user's care provider. product with recommendations on the use of the absorbent product, for example a recommendation to change the product.
    [077] In an exemplary embodiment, Sleep Safety is configured to assume that urination occurs when the wake signal (f) rises above a certain threshold value, (Tr), and to keep a record of the number of insults urinary and/or faecal assumed by counting the number of times of wakefulness signal increases above the referred threshold value. When the number of assumed urinary and/or fecal insults exceeds a maximum value, the Sleep Safety application triggers an alarm to indicate to the product user or their caregiver that it is time to change the hygiene product.
    [078] Furthermore, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, the Sleep Safety application is configured to transmit any information that is relevant to the product user's urination behavior to the cross-sharing database (8). This information comprises at least information about assumed urinary and/or fecal insults, for example, the points in time at which the insults are assumed to have occurred, as determined from the registered user's movement.
    [079] Sleep Safety can further be configured to predict future urination by the product user, i.e. future urine and/or stool insults, based on one or more previously recorded user movements, and to provide related information with the product to the product user or their caregiver based on this prediction. To improve predictions, Sleep Safety may retrieve pertinent urination information obtained by other mobile device apps from the cross-sharing database (8), and use this information in conjunction with the product user's recorded movement in the prediction of urination. future.
    [080] For example, Sleep Safety can be configured to retrieve consumption and excretion information collected by the Daily Log application as described below, and use this information in predicting future urination. To this end, Sleep Safety can be configured to analyze the relationship between user intake and urination during the day, as indicated by information retrieved from the cross-correlation database (8) and originally obtained by the Daily Record application , and the user's overnight urination behavior as indicated by the registered movement of the product user. By analyzing this relationship, preferably over a period of several days and nights, the Sleep Safety app can "learn", for example, how many urine insults can occur during a night after a day having a certain standard intake/excretion. This knowledge is intended to be used by Sleep Safety in predicting future excretion of urine and/or feces by the product user.
    [081] In addition, the Sleep Safety app can retrieve related excretion information obtained by other mobile device apps from the cross-sharing database (8), and compare this information with the registered movements of the product user. to adapt the algorithm used by the Sleep Security application to determine when the occurrence of urinary and/or fecal excretion is assumed. For example, Sleep Safety can retrieve information about the exact point in time when urine or feces are excreted by the product user, obtained by the Reassure app as described in more detail below, and compare this information to the recorded wakefulness curve (f ). In this way, the Sleep Safety application can, for example, know whether patterns of wakefulness curves (f) are indicative of urine and/or fecal elimination, and if they are not. In this way, the algorithm used to determine the place when urination occurred can be adapted accordingly, for example, by adapting the algorithm to exclude certain patterns of wake curves, or simply by adjusting the minimum value (Tr). Daily record
    [082] Daily Log is a mobile device application to monitor the use of an absorbent product from information on ingestion and excretion of a user, ie the user of the absorbent product.
    [083] The basics of the Daily Record application are illustrated in Figure 4, which shows the process steps performed by the mobile device application in its execution.
    [084] In a first step, (SI), ingestion information indicative of the ingestion of fluid and/or solid edible material by the user of the product is obtained. In a second step, (S2), excretion information indicative of urinary and/or fecal excretion is obtained by the user of the product. Relative entry and excretion information is typically obtained through manual entry of information into the mobile device application, preferably by having the product user enter the information into a Daily Record keeping track of the user's ingestion and excretion behaviors . The ingestion information comprises at least an indication of the time point for each ingestion, and the voiding information comprises at least an indication of a time point for each urine and/or feces insult. Furthermore, input information and excretion information may comprise indications of the type and/or amount of each ingestion and the type and/or amount of each insult. In a third step, (S3), future excretion by the product user is foreseen, that is, future insults of urine and/or feces, based on the consumption and excretion information obtained in steps (S1) and (S2). In a fourth step, (S4), information related to the product such as the use of the absorbent product is provided to the product user based on said forecast.
    [085] Furthermore, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, the Daily Record application is configured to transmit information that is relevant to the product user's excretion behavior to the cross-sharing database (8). The information transmitted comprises at least information about the time points of the insults recorded by the user of the product in the record, and preferably all of the above mentioned ingestion and excretion information.
    [086] The Daily Log app is also configured to retrieve pertinent excretion information obtained by other mobile device apps from the cross-sharing database (8), and use this information in conjunction with the excretion and consumption information in the Registry Diary in order to improve prediction of future insults.
    [087] For example, the Daily Session app can retrieve relevant excretion information indicative of the product's nighttime excretion behavior, obtained by either or both the Sleep Safety app or the Reassurance app (as described below ). The Daily Record application can then compare the product user's ingestion and excretion behavior during the day with the product user's excretion behavior during the night time. By performing this comparison for a plurality of days and nights, the Daily Record app can learn how different daytime intake/excretion patterns affect the product user's excretion behavior during nighttime. In this way, relevant excretion information obtained by the Sleep Safety application can be used by the Daily Log application to improve future insult predictions. PAD SCANNER
    [088] Cushion Scanner is a mobile device application to monitor absorbent product usage based on image analysis of used absorbent products. It is configured to determine a measure of liquid absorption by the absorbent product based on information from one or more images of the absorbent product used, and to display information relating to the use of the absorbent product on the mobile device on which the application is run.
    [089] Figure 5 illustrates a used hygiene product (12) in the form of an incontinence protector comprising an area (13) of absorbed liquid. The mobile device (1) captures an image of the product (12) by means of the image capture device (3) of the mobile device (1), preferably during illumination of the product (12) by a light source (10) of the mobile device (1), for example an integrated camera flash. By analyzing the color and/or light intensity of pixel information of the captured image, a degree of utilization of the absorbed product can be determined.
    [090] In addition, the Pad Scanner application can be configured to obtain information about the capacity of the absorbent product that is analyzed, and to determine the amount (for example, the volume) of liquid absorbed by the absorbent product based on the analysis of the image and the known capability of the product. In this way, information on the amount of urine and/or feces excreted by the product user can be obtained. By keeping track of when the product user changes product, for example, through manual entry of information indicating a product change by the product user, the Cushion Scanner app can obtain information on when the product user excretes urine and /or faeces, and the amount of urine and/or faeces excreted.
    [091] In accordance with the principles of the present invention, this information can be uploaded to the cross-sharing database (8) by the Pad Scanner application, in order to be used by other applications for monitoring the use of products from hygiene.
    [092] For example, the information can be used by the Daily Record application to obtain measurements of the amount of urine and/or feces excreted between different points in time, which information can be compared with information on previous intakes of fluid edible material and/or solid to gain knowledge about the relationship between ingesting behavior and user excreting behavior. This knowledge can be used by the Daily Register application to adjust its prediction algorithms to more accurately predict future excretion by the product user based on the product user's entry of entry information into the Daily Register.
    [093] The information transmitted to the cross-sharing database (8) by the Pad Scanner application can also be used by the Sleep Safety application. For example, the product user can exchange the used product for a new absorbent product before going to sleep and capture an image of the used absorbent product the next morning. The Cushion Scanner application can then upload information about the amount excreted by the product user during the night, this information can be retrieved by the Sleep Safety application and compared with the wake curve (f) recorded during the same night. In this way, the Sleep Safety application can know which wake curve patterns correspond to the product user's excretion, and even establish a correlation between wake curve patterns and amounts excreted. As described above, such knowledge can be used by the Sleep Safety application to adapt the algorithm used to determine when excretion has taken place, for example, adapting it to exclude certain patterns of wake curves or adjusting the minimum value ( Tr). In fact, this knowledge can even be used by the Sleep Safety application to estimate the actual volume of urine and/or faeces excreted by the product user through sleep curve analysis alone. Reassure
    [094] Reassure is a mobile device application for monitoring the use of a hygiene product based on sensor signals obtained by an odor sensing device capable of detecting one or more chemicals indicative of the presence of urine and/or feces in the toiletry product.
    [095] Figure 6a illustrates a mobile monitoring system comprising a mobile device (1) that runs the Reassurance application, and an odor sensor device (11). As illustrated in Figure 6b, the odor sensing device (11) is preferably sized to be carried in a garment pocket of a wearer (17) of the sanitary product (12).
    [096] The odor sensor device (11) comprises an odor sensor (14), indicated in dashed lines, which comprises one or more gas inlets (15) through which the gas to be analyzed can enter the odor sensor . The odor detector (14) can, for example, be configured to detect any or all of the chemicals, ammonia, amines, sulfides and ketones, indicative of the presence of urine, and hydrodioxides, indole, skatol, thiols (sulfer) and hydrogen sulphide, indicative of the presence of feces.
    [097] In addition, the odor sensing device (11) comprises a communication unit (16) for communicating with the Reassurance application running on the mobile device (1), preferably through a wireless communication interface, such as a bluetooth interface. When the sensor (14) detects a chemical odor indicative of the presence of urine and/or feces, it generates a signal that is transmitted to the mobile device (1) through the communication unit (16). Preferably, the odor sensor (14) is configured to generate a signal in dependence on the concentration of the detected chemical, and therefore send a signal that is indicative of the concentration of the detected substance to the mobile device (1).
    [098] The signal received from the odor sensing device (11) is used by the Reassurance application to determine the points in time when urine and/or feces were eliminated, and, additionally, also to determine the amount of urine and /or excreted faeces, based on the concentration of the chemical detected.
    [099] In accordance with the principles of the present invention, this information can be uploaded to the cross-sharing database (8) by the Reassurer application, in order to be used by other applications for monitoring the use of hygiene products. For example, information on when urine and/or feces were eliminated, and information on the amount of urine and/or faeces excreted by the product user can be used by the Daily Log app and the Sleep Safety app, as described above.
    [0100] As can be seen from the above description of the various mobile device applications, there are many different ways in which a mobile device application can utilize relevant excretion information obtained by other mobile device applications in order to provide recommendations regarding the use of a hygiene product. It is thus to be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be varied within the scope of the claims which follow.
