DFree uses ultrasound technology to monitor bladder fullness and notifies you on your smartphone or tablet when it’s time to go to the bathroom. DFree helps to prevent accidental urinary leaks.

DFree stands for “diaper-free.”

Triple W recently won six innovation awards for DFree including the 2019 “Best of CES Award” - Digital Health and Fitness Category – selected by Engadget editors. DFree is designed not only to help people with urinary incontinence improve their quality of life and enable independence, but also to help reduce the burden for the caregivers.
