BACKGROUND FOR THE INVENTION:
[002] The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known, or part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction as of the priority date of the application. The details provided herein the background if belongs to any publication is taken only as a reference for describing the problems, in general terminologies or principles or both of science and technology in the associated prior art.
[003] Keeping a baby dry and comfortable during overnight care is a constant issue for parents and caregivers, particularly new mothers. Diaper rash, skin irritation, and disturbed sleep are all possible outcomes of overnight dampness in diapers or bedding. The current standard of care for dealing with this issue is to use very absorbent diapers or to check the baby's diaper at regular intervals. Although these methods are widely used, they have a number of drawbacks that our innovation aims to address.
- Troubled Sleep for Parent and Child: Babies frequently wake up in the middle of the night when they feel the need to pee, which can disturb both parents' and children’s, sleep. Night time diaper checks are a common occurrence, and they can be both annoying and disruptive to a baby's sleep if parents perform them too often.
- Skin Irritation and Diaper Rash: Babies can experience discomfort and pain due to skin irritation and diaper rash caused by prolonged contact to moisture. Even the most effective diaper creams and super-absorbent diapers won't stop leaks if you don't change your baby's diaper quickly enough.
- Caregiver Weakness and Worry: Many parents, particularly new moms, worry excessively about their infant's sleep comfort and exert extra effort to ensure it. When sleep is already in short supply for new parents, this hyper vigilance might make them feel even more exhausted.
- Vague Approaches to Addressing Special Needs: Conventional approaches to managing moisture can be especially difficult for parents of babies with sensitive skin, allergies, or those who need diaper changes more often.
- Reliance on Expensive or Throwaway Items: A lot of parents use pricey, high-absorbency diapers to put off changing their babies' diapers until midnight. On the other hand, these solutions end up costing a lot of money and don't solve the underlying problem of making sure diapers are changed at the right times.
[004] In light of the foregoing, there is a need for the Wet detection and notification device to alert the baby mother at night that overcomes problems prevalent in the prior art.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:

[021] The present invention provides Wet detection and notification device to alert the baby mother at night. The Wet Detection and Notification Device is meant to make babies safer and more comfortable by letting parents or caregivers know right away when a baby is wet, especially at night. The main innovation is that it can sense wetness and send that information in real time, so that the baby's diaper can be changed right away to keep them from being uncomfortable. This idea solves a problem that a lot of parents have with taking care of their babies at night. By making sure that caregivers are quickly notified of wetness, it can greatly lower the risk of diaper rash, improve sleep for both mother and baby, and make changing diapers at night easier. This is great for parents whose babies are very allergic to diapers because it can be put under the mattress, on top of a blanket, or in the diaper area.
[022] Features:
- 1. Wetness detection in real time: uses a moisture sensor (conductive or capacitive) to accurately find wetness in the baby's diaper or bedding. The sensor is sensitive enough to send out messages as soon as it senses moisture.
- 2. Pattern Recognition: Use AI to detect patterns in moisture accumulation and provide predictive alerts.
- 3. Environment Learning: Allow the device to learn environmental conditions over time and adapt detection thresholds.
- 4. Wireless Notification System: The device has a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless communication module that links to an app on a smartphone or a separate device. This lets notifications be sent directly to the phone of the mother or caretaker.
- 5. Smart Home Compatibility: Ensure integration with smart home ecosystems like Alexa, Google Assistant, or other Home Kit.
[023] Through the provision of real-time, automated monitoring of moisture levels, the Wet Detection and Notification Device provides a solution that is both focused and efficient. This strategy satisfies the requirement for early alerts in a direct manner, so avoiding disturbances, lowering exposure to wetness, and easing the workload of the caregiver. The device provides caregivers with a dependable method to maintain their baby's comfort while drastically decreasing the need for regular, manual diaper checks. This is accomplished by integrating a sensitive moisture sensor with a wireless alert system that can notify a parent's smartphone or sound a local alert. In the end, this innovation revolutionizes the process of caring for infants during the night, making it easier to handle, more efficient, and more beneficial to the health and happiness of both the baby and the caregiver.
[024] This wet detection and notification device is unique because it has an automated alert system that lets parents or caregivers know as soon as it finds wetness. This is especially helpful at night, when checking diapers all the time can be annoying and impractical. Instead of relying on the parent to check the diaper by hand or using diapers that soak up a lot of liquid to avoid changing them, this device is like having an extra set of eyes, taking away the need to guess.
- 1. Instant Alert When Wetness Is Found: This device can quickly find wetness and alert the parent right away, so the diaper can be changed right away. The old ways of doing things either involve checking on the baby on a regular basis or only acting when the baby is upset or starts crying. For example, if the baby wets himself or herself in the middle of the night, the device sends a message to the caretaker's phone or plays a soft sound in the room. This makes sure that the diaper can be changed before the baby starts to feel bad or gets a rash. This is something that traditional diapers or even disposable diapers can't do immediately.
- 2. Smartphone Connectivity for Remote Notification: This invention pairs with a smartphone app or device so that alerts can be sent even if the caregiver is in a different room. It makes things easier and less disruptive at night because the caretaker doesn't have to be close by to constantly check on the baby.
- 3. Local Alert Mechanism: Unlike other options that only use smartphone alerts or baby monitors, this device has a small buzzer and LED light built in so that if the smartphone alert isn't heard, the caregiver will still know what needs to be done thanks to the local alert.
- 4. Settings and sensitivity that can be changed: The device has settings that let the caretaker change the sensitivity level based on what their baby needs and the type or amount of alert they want. This feature gives you a customized answer that adjusts to the way your baby sleeps and how sensitive they are. For example, parents can set the alert to go off only if the diaper gets really wet, or they can pick a softer, quieter sound if their baby sleeps a lot. To sum up, what makes this device unique is that it automatically detects wetness and sends real-time alerts. It also works with smartphones and lets you set your own preferences. All of these features work together to make a proactive, easy-to-use solution for caring for babies at night, filling in some of the gaps that traditional methods leave.
