| abstract |
The present invention relates to a method for associating a reading of a machine readable sensor (3) positioned in an absorbent article (2), such as a diaper, a diaper of pant type, an incontinence garment, a sanitary napkin, a tampon-like product, a wound or sore dressing, a bed protector, or a similar product, with the identity of a user (6) of the absorbent article (2). A machine readable identity tag (4) is uniquely associated with the user (6) independently of the absorbent article (2). Furthermore, the reading of the sensor (3) is performed during the same reading session as a reading of the identity tag (4). In addition, the present invention relates to a system (1) comprising an absorbent article (2) including a sensor (3), an identity tag (4) and reading means (5) for performing readings of the sensor (3) and the tag (4) during the same reading session. |
