Electronic Monitoring Systems to Assess Urinary Incontinence: A Health Technology Assessment

Urinary incontinence is the accidental leakage of urine. Assessing and managing incontinence is an important part of health care for people living in a long-term care home or geriatric inpatient setting. The effectiveness and cost of using an electronic monitoring system to assess urinary incontinence is reviewed and the impact this may have on the management of urinary incontinence. We also interviewed people who have urinary incontinence to learn more about their experiences.
