| abstract |
A method for associating a reading of a machine readable sensor positioned in an absorbent article, 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 of the absorbent article. A machine readable identity tag is uniquely associated with the user independently of the absorbent article. Furthermore, the reading of the sensor is performed during the same reading session as a reading of the identity tag. In addition, a system including an absorbent article including a sensor, an identity tag and reading means for performing readings of the sensor and the tag during the same reading session. |
