Description

Patient management system for urine and feces treatment}

The present invention relates to a patient management system for handling urine and feces, and more specifically, to a patient management system for handling urine and feces that can minimize contamination when a user urinates or defecates.

In general, diapers are used to collect urine and urine from people who cannot cover their urine and stool (e.g., infants, dementia patients, unconscious patients, seriously ill patients, etc.) or people who have difficulty moving (e.g., the elderly, etc.) . People who wear diapers are unable to change their own diapers after going to the toilet, and usually have guardians (e.g., parents, family members, nurses, caregivers, etc.) change their diapers.

However, people who wear diapers are unable to express themselves properly even after defecating, so they often end up wearing diapers stained with feces for long periods of time. In this case, there is a risk of damage to the skin of the diaper wearer due to the toxicity of the excrement and the moisture contained in the excrement.

In other words, if you wear a diaper stained with feces for a long time, there is a risk of developing various skin diseases such as skin rash or eczema.
