Ever since the introduction of the Edison, Intel's been actively pitching this tiny computer module to makers by way of workshops and hackathons. At Computex, the chip giant took the opportunity to show off the latest round of hacks based on its $50 kit, and we were amused by one particular demo: the DiaperPie*, a smart diaper solution created by four Acer engineers. The module -- which will be the size of a coin if Acer commercializes it -- sits inside a regular diaper and is able to monitor a baby's temperature plus sleeping posture, as well as detecting the presence of pee (moisture) and poo (methane) in the diaper. The data is logged on both the app (via Bluetooth LE) and the cloud, and if the baby needs attention, you'll get a notification. Given that we haven't heard much about the previous smart diaper attempt, it'd be cool to see Acer realizing this project.

WOW need an ap to tell when to change a diaper. Next time you know they will have an ap that tells you when to pee.

Sad thing is that many parents don't change the diaper after each pee/poop, but when they feel the diaper is close to failure.

Since tech improvements and advertising of 12hr protection, it is VERY common to just let the kid repeatedly wet a diaper.

I know this from a few years in the diaper biz.

This would be handy for nighttime.

That's about all though.
