A system for detecting incontinence is configured to discern when a patient has eliminated and communicate a signal to a control center. The system includes an undergarment that is sufficiently sized to be worn around a waist of the patient. A disposable sensor assembly is mechanically coupled to the undergarment. The disposable sensor assembly can transmit the signal when the patient has eliminated. A wireless transmitter is communicatively coupled to the disposable sensor assembly which receives the signal from the disposable sensor assembly and communicates the signal. A wireless receiver is communicatively coupled to the wireless transmitter which receivers the signal and communicates the signal to the control center. In this manner, personnel in the control center can treat the patient upon receipt of the signal.
