Investigation of Heylo, a Novel App Driven Digital Supporting Ostomy Product

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. The overall aim of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the benefits of the new supporting product, Heylo compared to Standard of Care.
