What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence — the loss of bladder control — is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you cough or sneeze to having an urge to urinate that's so sudden and strong you don't get to a toilet in time.
Though it occurs more often as people get older, urinary incontinence isn't an inevitable consequence of aging. If urinary incontinence affects your daily activities, don't hesitate to see your doctor. For most people, simple lifestyle and dietary changes or medical care can treat symptoms of urinary incontinence.
What is eBrief?
eBrief™ is a small wetness sensor that fits inside any undergarment your loved one already wears. The moment it's needed, it sends a signal to the care team's dashboard — so nurses know exactly when to help, without guesswork or scheduled checks. That means faster changes, less disruption to your loved one's day, and a clearer picture of their health over time. If a community uses eBrief, it means they've chosen to be proactive about care, not reactive. You will know when your loved one is being cared for.
