FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: monitoring device for use with an absorbent product. The monitoring device comprises a signalling device accommodating hardware, software, a microprogram or a combination thereof; a sensor device; a peripheral device. The sensor device is configured in such a manner as to read out the individual physiological readings, and electrically connected to a monitoring circuit in the absorbent product and interacts with one or more signalling devices. A monitoring method provides activation of the signalling device in the absorbent product wearable by an individual; the output of the individual physiological readings on the signalling device and the variation of the function or indication of the signalling device, as the individual develops with aging by changing hardware, software or the microprogram being components of one or more signalling devices. The absorbent product comprises the monitoring device and the primary element comprising the outer coating, an absorbent structure, and a wedge shaped piece.
