Scientists in the United States have successfully created a diaper that can analyze urine to keep track of their health, according to the Daily Mail.

It's Diaper Diaper , a collaboration between the ideas of couples Jennie Rubinshteyn and Yaroslav Faybishenko, and scientists at Children's Hospital Benioff, University of California (USA) .

Diapers are fitted with sensors to monitor moisture, bacterial activity and sugar levels in the urine. Based on this, diapers can detect abnormal conditions such as urinary tract infections, diabetes and dehydration.

The diaphragm will have its own QR code (bi-directional bar code) so parents can download data to their smartphones. Parents can also send this data to the doctor to diagnose their child's condition.

The research team is calling for $ 25,000 through the IndieGoGo website to bring this unique product to the market.
