Smart diapers; sensing technology; reusable design; self-powered systems; health management.Abstract
Driven by both global population aging and the rise of intelligent parenting concepts, smart diapers have become a critical entry point for personal health monitoring. Their core technologies directly influence caregiving efficiency and user well-being. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of global patents related to smart diapers and innovatively analyzes the progress in three major technological pathways: sensing technology innovations, energy and structural design, and intelligent systems for health management. Current technological development is undergoing a transformation from single-function wetness alerts to multidimensional physiological monitoring systems. With breakthroughs in sensing technologies and system architectures, product performance and commercialization feasibility have been significantly enhanced. The paper identifies core directions for future technological breakthroughs and provides new insights and references for R&D and industrial development in relevant fields.
