Brief Summary

People with intestinal stomas can have, despite development of better ostomy products, problems with leakage which influence their quality of life negatively. To overcome this, Coloplast has developed a new supporting ostomy product called Heylo™, which has an adhesive sensor layer that should be placed underneath the baseplate. The sensor layer consists of an electronic sensor system that continuously detects moisture and output leakage underneath the baseplate. A transmitter connected to the sensor layer continuously evaluates the incoming information and sends a status to a smartphone software application, which based on a predefined flow decides which information to deliver to the user about the baseplate status.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Times With Stoma Effluent Leakage Outside the Baseplate (e.g. Onto Clothes or Bedsheets) Within the Last 2 Weeks

    Survey question: Think back on the last 2 weeks; how many times have you experienced stoma effluent leakage outside the baseplate (e.g. onto clothes or bedsheets)?

    Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Patient Self-management

    Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  • Ostomy Leakage Impact Tool - 'Emotional Impact' Domain

    Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  • Ostomy Leakage Impact Tool - 'Usual and Social Activities' Domain

    Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  • Ostomy Leakage Impact Tool - 'Coping and in Control' Domain

    Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  • Health Related Quality of Life

    Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Test product - new supporting ostomy product and support service

OTHER

The arm includes the newly developed supporting ostomy product (leakage notification system Heylo) used together with a support service

Device: Heylo

Interventions

HeyloDEVICE

Test of the supporting product (test product) for a 12 weeks period. No additional intervention will be conducted. A few follow up nurse calls to assess few endpoints together with subject. All remaining endpoints are captured via surveys send to the subjects every 14 days.
