The technological equipment embedded in the diaper can also send messages to cell phones or computers through wireless transmission, according to Chuang Wei-che, a researcher at ITRI.
The adult diaper, made with economically manufactured local non-woven fabrics, can be mass-produced for hospitals and nursing homes.
Founded in 1973, ITRI has aggressively researched and developed countless next-generation technologies, including WIMAX wireless broadband, solar cells, RFID, light electric vehicles, flexible displays, 3-D ICs and telecare.
