1. A system, comprising:
- a chassis configured to be worn by an individual comprising an outer cover having an interior surface and an exterior surface and an absorbent structure positioned adjacent the interior surface of the outer cover;
a pair of conductive elements contained in the chassis and forming part of a sensing circuit that is configured to sense physiological changes of a wearer; and
at least one electrical device associated with said pair of conductive elements, said at least one electrical device configured to indicate sensed physiological changes of a wearer comprising at least one of increases in void volume over time, increases in time between voids, and proximity of a wearer to one of a predetermined item and a predetermined location.

Abstract
The present subject matter relates to absorbent articles and signaling devices for use therewith. An absorbent article may be provided with selected electrical components used as wetness or other type sensors which may be determined by a coupled signaling device. An attached signaling device may automatically determine physiological changes of a wearer of the absorbent article including increases in void volume over time, increases in time between voids and proximity to bathroom fixtures. The signaling device may provide data analysis and/or display, and may provide remote alarm functions.
