DignityAlert™ Details

How does DignityAlert™ work?

A tiny, biologically-inert, sensor tracer is ingested with food. The ingested tracer will transmit real-time location information to a remote monitor. The sensor/monitor will utilize wearable wireless technology.

The monitor may alert the host or a third party that the tag has reached a particular location within the host (e.g., the rectum).

The alert may be sent to a mobile phone, monitoring station or console.

Who benefits from DignityAlert™?

Pet Owners/Kennel Owners/Pet trainers/Veterinarians and Caretakers.

The process for training pets to identify certain permissible areas to defecate takes time, patience and expertise.

As such, knowing when the dog is about to defecate can greatly improve the efficiency of training the dog to defecate in certain locations at specific times.

This can be reinforced with positive stimuli such as dropping a dog treat from a dispenser or issuing an audible praise in the voice of the owner from a speaker attached to the dog collar.

At a minimum, knowing the approximate time a dog needs to defecate enhances remote monitoring and care.

Parents – Potty-Training Children

Untrained infants require close supervision from a parent for purposes of helping the infant identify the need to defecate and the proper location.

It can take years to train an infant to sense that he/she will need to defecate soon.

If the parent has an idea when the child needs to defecate, the parent can better help the child identify or associate the need with using the bathroom.

Elderly Care Facilities

Caretakers for older persons unable to control their bowel movements may schedule periodic visits to attend to their needs.

Knowing when the patient is about to defecate allows caretakers to better allocate resources and assist patients when they actually need help.

It also gives the patient some sense of dignity due to proactive preparedness.

Patients with Bowel Incontinence

Knowing that defecation is about to occur, even a few minutes ahead, allows the patient to access a toilet in time and avoid embarrassment.
