Stage: Community-care feasibility pilot
Australia’s National Ageing Research Institute reported on August 13, 2025 on a community-care pilot with Community Vision and Essity Australasia, funded by ARIIA. It explored the feasibility and acceptability of TENA SmartCare technology for care-dependent older people living in the community.
Staff confidence in continence management improved, but data were insufficient to determine effects on primary or secondary outcomes. NARI identified reliability, the support participants require and the method of introducing the technology as issues needing further consideration.
