inContAlert

inContAlert GmbH is a MedTech startup based in Bayreuth, Germany, founded in September 2022. The company specializes in a non-invasive wearable device and app designed to monitor bladder filling levels for patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction and urinary incontinence. This innovative technology aims to help patients regain control over their bladder by providing proactive warnings before incontinence occurs, thereby reducing the need for traditional aids like diapers and catheters.

The core product is a discreet, belt-attached sensor that uses infrared light to continuously measure bladder filling levels. It works in conjunction with a companion app that analyzes the sensor data and sends notifications when user-defined thresholds are reached. This system enhances quality of life by supporting individualized bladder management and improving workflow efficiency in hospitals and care facilities. The technology is patented and has received EU medical device approval, with ongoing clinical validation studies underway.
