This study is an explorative, open, single-arm clinical investigation to collect real-life measurement data in order to assess the mathematical algorithms involved in TENA SmartCare Change Indicator.
The purpose of this exploratory clinical investigation is to evaluate safety and to collect real-life measurement data using the TENA SmartCare Change Indicator. The collected data will be used to assess the device related algorithms. These algorithms have been established and verified in a laboratory environment. However, due to possible differences in parameters, real-life measurement data are to be collected to aid in further product development.

Each participating subject will be provided with a Change Indicator and absorbent products for the duration of the investigation. Nine types of absorbent products will be used to collect real-life measurement data in order to assess the mathematical algorithms involved in the TENA SmartCare Change Indicator. Each participating subject will be allocated to the type(s) that are considered most suitable. Gateways will be placed in the resident's rooms as well as in common areas, this to enable full measurement registration.

Urine Volume Quantification and Impedance Measurements
Descriptive statistics were used to summarize any individual differences between the predicted urine volume from the Change Indicator and the true urine volume (by measuring absorbent product weight). A measure of mean difference for the predicted volume minus true volume is assessed. A combination of these values were used to assess the mathematical algorithms for the TENA SmartCare Change Indicator.
