Smart Diaper With QR code?

CNET via CBS News has a story about a Smart Diaper with a QR code parents can scan when their little ones go wee-wee.

Why?

So that parents can “track changes in a baby’s urine, potentially showing signs of a urinary tract infection, prolonged dehydration, or risk for kidney problems,” according to the CNET/CBS article.

At the moment the Smart Diaper is only a dream; funds are being raised via IndieGoGo. The company behind this potential pee capturing data device is Pixie Scientific. This is an actual quote from their web site:

360 million diapers are changed every day
None of this health information has been used
Until Smart Diapers

They made the the words “smart diapers” blue, not us.

There’s a video. Watch if you dare.
