Near’s mission is to eliminate the debilitating physical and emotional impact of incontinence through the application of wireless and cloud-based technology. 



Our thesis is simple: we will keep people drier and cleaner by sending real-time alerts to caregivers when an incontinence pad is soiled, allowing the caregiver to respond quickly to those patients that need attention. Our solution is robust and elegant. An ink-based patent-pending sensor is incorporated into a premium incontinence pad to detect amount and duration of moisture. A wireless radio transmitter snaps easily onto the pad for the purpose of reading, characterizing, and transmitting data to an easy-to-operate cloud and mobile based software platform that integrates gracefully into the caregiver's existing workflow. 



The Near team knows the application of mobile technology will cause vast improvement, especially with regard to patient dignity, and well-being. We believe that elevating incontinence care will relieve huge amounts of suffering, increase liberty, and create significant value for society.
