Aged care clinical care software vendor Health Metrics has signed an agreement with Simavita, maker of an instrumented incontinence assessment application colloquially known as “electronic underpants”, to integrate the system into its eCase electronic care plan solution.

Publicly listed Simavita has been developing its Smart Incontinence System (SIM) over a number of years and is currently rolling it out in North America and Europe. SIM is a wireless sensor technology with associated software that can assess an individual's urinary incontinence condition and help residential aged care facilities to develop an evidence-based incontinence care plan.
