Assoc. Prof. Dr. Weerasak Surarueangchai, Lecturer at the Institute of Sports Analysis and Detection Science Mahidol University “Outstanding Technologist” from the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Technology under Royal Patronage in 2016 is considered “wisdom of the land” according to the aspiration of Mahidol University. As the owner of new innovations “Digital adult diapers”
that will make the lives of bedridden patients Or that the elderly have a better quality of life in a situation where Thai society has entered the aging stage completely. It is considered one of the outstanding works of the Institute of Sports Analysis and Testing Science. Mahidol University, which will “transform” into a new role in applying technology to care for the health of Thai people and around the world.
Center for testing for prohibited substances in athletes Which has received standard certification from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and is one of the top 30 in the world since 1995 and moved to institutional status in 2018. Its mission goes beyond the service of testing for prohibited substances in athletes. The mission of research and study of the use of science and analysis for society and the good life is the hallmark of the institute.

with the idea to make “Adult diapers” which are generally available has developed into innovation “Digital adult diapers” that can display various parameters that is analyzed from urine to indicate “Health level” of the wearer through “sensors” connected to a “remote medical monitoring system” that can also be displayed “Digital system”
Initially, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Weerasak and his team designed the innovation. “Digital adult diapers” can monitor the health of the elderly. and bedridden patients with chronically low sodium levels leading to “Osteoporosis” and related parameters in urine for monitoring and care “Chronic kidney disease patients”
In addition, innovation will be developed. “Digital adult diapers” can be analyzed by displaying parameters that cover more chronic diseases and are more personalized.

It is expected that “digital adult diapers” are the work of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Weerasak. and cooperation of researchers at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi Biotech-NSTDA. will be developed It can be commercially pushed into the hands of consumers on a large scale within the next 2 years after it has been tested for actual use in bedridden patients. or elderly people until the results are satisfactory And it probably won’t be too long. that will allow bedridden patients and the elderly to find the “new life” they have been waiting for
