Combining Ostom-I With Abstats Sensors to Improve Prediction of Ostomy Output

Currently, the number of patients having either permanent or temporary stomas placed is increasing each year. Yet, patients with ostomy pouches often struggle with predicting when stool output will occur and how to plan around dynamic changes in intestinal activity. Ostom-I provides a real-time assessment of the volume in the ostomy bag, it does not predict when and how fast such output will occur. In this pilot study the investigators aim to gather normative AbStats and Ostom-I data in participants with an ostomy to improve prediction of stool output. Aim 1: To gather normative AbStats and Ostom-I data in subjects with an ostomy to improve prediction of stool output. Aim 2: Correlate the data from both wearable biosensors and test the predictive validity of AbStats in determining ostomy bag filling as measured by Ostom-I.
