Welcome to PuriGo

PuriGo relieves caregiver and healthcare worker strain—tasks related to incontinence care, if neglected, often trigger elevated turnover rates, neglect, and even institutional abuse. Research shows 61.7% of caregivers report significant burden, with continence care triggering up to 18% of resignations in long-term settings. Automating hygiene and collection reduces exposure, workload, and risk while preserving user dignity, comfort, and health—a breakthrough for users and staff alike.

Adult diapers are essential for patients with bladder control issues, helping retain and manage large volumes of urine. Baby diapers, meanwhile, keep infants clean and maintain their health. For adults, incontinence products provide necessary protection against urine leakage—a common condition affecting millions. Incontinence is prevalent in the United States, impacting roughly 76 million people as of 2017, or nearly one in three adults. Of these, only a small portion—about 0.46%—live in nursing homes, while 0.21% are elderly adults residing in assisted living. The average nursing home resident is 81 years old and there are approximately 15,600 nursing homes nationwide.

Physical impairment is the most common disability in America, with around 39 million people experiencing motor limitations. Thirteen percent of adults have difficulty with mobility such as walking or climbing stairs. Caregiving is a widespread necessity—approximately 39.8 million Americans provide care to adults with disabilities or illness, representing 16.6% of the population.

With the growth of the smart diaper and eco-friendly toilet markets, driven by an aging population in need of constant help with incontinence, there remains a heavy reliance on human resources for diaper changing in hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities. This process can consume up to 40% of a healthcare worker's time, and when caring for individuals with severe disability and bladder or bowel issues, diaper changing can take as much as 80% of their shift. Certified nursing assistants, direct support professionals, and therapy aides routinely manage the diaper changing process multiple times daily.

The revolutionary PuriGo device is a key solution, supporting a healthier, more private, and safe approach to diaper changing. PuriGo provides options for optimal skin care and high standards using smart diapers, affordable organic water, and eco-friendly wipes. Its advanced system can detect the type, size, and color of soiled diapers, aiding in sample collection for lab research. While most sensors only detect moisture, PuriGo stands out by offering precise and actionable feedback—even in patients with severe dementia where traditional alert systems may fail.

Diaper changing devices are a necessary solution for managing incontinence and bowel issues in people with disabilities, women recovering from childbirth, those who have undergone major surgeries, and beyond. Urinary incontinence is recognized as a quality indicator by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), highlighting its importance in long-term care quality. In elderly adults, the problem is frequent and often painful, rooted in muscle changes, brain regulation, and aging, but also influenced by medications.

PuriGo addresses these challenges by reducing caregiver burden, improving outcomes, and meeting the evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers.
