CONtinence in nursing homes

About

ProCon Project

As Europe’s population continues to age, incontinence has become a major health and economic challenge, particularly in nursing homes. Despite affecting up to 75% of residents, it remains underreported and poorly managed, largely due to reduced cognitive and physical abilities. This condition significantly impacts the quality of life for both residents and caregivers.
The ProCon Project is leading efforts to improve continence care by bringing together educational institutions, research organisations, and healthcare professionals. By evaluating cutting-edge technologies— such as smart continence wear and sensors to monitor toileting activities —alongside new approaches in caregiving, entrepreneurship, and digital skills development, ProCon is driving meaningful innovation in nursing home care.
