SYDNEY – Smart sensors developer Simavita has received CE Mark approval for Smartz which will allow the technology to be sold throughout the European Economic Area.
SmartzT, which is designed for extensive use in both adult and infant diaper markets, is a low cost sensing technology incorporated into diapers at the time of manufacture and provides accurate, real-time data and information to parents and carers at home, in aged care or child care facilities. It is the culmination of 10 years’ research and development and is built around cloud-based systems and App based alert technology, together with the latest in security and data management.
Alerts include wetness, dehydration, movement including agitation and restlessness, falls, ambient temperature and pressure sore management for the elderly.
“Achieving CE Mark enables Simavita to commercialize our disruptive technology for adults and infants across the European Economic Area as well as in other regions that recognise CE Mark,” said Michael Spooner, Executive Chairman of Simavita. “SmartzT delivers significant competitive advantage to major retailers, distributors and global diaper manufacturers. Importantly, SmartzT addresses many of the issues faced in Australia and internationally in the care of the elderly including delivering on significant efficiency gains, whilst dramatically improving overall care standards.”
As previously disclosed, Simavita no longer manufactures product, nor does it buy or hold inventory. Rather, the business model is to license the technology and to deliver service to its customers. It is in this respect that the company is in ongoing discussion with a number of major companies regarding the patented technology.
