Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A substrate (10) suitable for incorporation into an absorbent article (100) for monitoring and detecting the presence of wetness therein and/or risk of exudate leakage therefrom, is provided. Said substrate (10) comprises a conductive pattern (101) disposed on a first surface (20) capable of being arranged proximal to a body facing side of the absorbent article (100), wherein said conductive pattern (101) can be brought in electrical communication with a clip-on data processing module (103). Said conductive pattern (101) comprises: a plurality of connection tracks (1',2',3',4',5'); and a plurality of sensing tracks (9) connected to said connection tracks (1',2',3',4',5'), wherein the conductive pattern (101) is configured in a manner that addressing multiple combinations of said plurality of connection tracks (1',2',3',4',5') with corresponding terminals (1,2,3,4,5) of the clip-on data processing module (103) result in multiple electrical circuit configurations for measuring resistance, impedance and/or capacitance therethrough.
