LifeSense’s lead wearables product Carin, is a line of smart underwear designed to help women suffering from incontinence related issues. Inbuilt sensors, which can connect to a special phone app via Bluetooth, allow users to establish exercise routines to successfully improve the pelvic floor muscles.
