Diaper Sensor Monitoring System Coming Soon?

A research lab over in Japan has come up with a rather useful tool for nurses and mothers alike – the self-powered diaper monitor system. The device has a self-powered sensor/transmitter, powered by a built-in battery that can generate electricity following a chemical reaction in the presence of urine. It’s still in a prototype mode, but you can be sure that they’re working on this. Maybe in the future we’ll see this implemented into hospitals, no?
