To date, no pre-void wearable alarm exists to treat nocturnal enuresis (NE)—night-time bedwetting, and children with NE and their families are disappointed in relation to the post-void moisture alarms and medicine currently available. Development of a safe, comfortable and non-invasive wearable pre-void alarm and associated technology, using advanced mechatronics, is underway (the MyPAD device). Each stage of development includes patient and public involvement (PPI), particularly with respect to human factors, in collaboration with physicians, radiologists, psychologists, nurses, engineers and designers.

The aim of this study was to help us understand the families’ experience of the condition of enuresis, and to provide opinion relating to existing NE alarms, designed to detect moisture, and most importantly, the initial design of the MyPAD wearable technology.
