Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have an ileostomy or colostomy and have used the Heylo™ device for less than seven days.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have a stoma reversal planned within the next six months may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the long-term benefits of the Heylo™ device, a digital leakage notification system designed for individuals with intestinal stomas. The device includes a smartphone application, an adhesive sensor layer, and a Bluetooth transmitter that alerts users to changes in their baseplate status. By potentially reducing leakage incidents, the study aims to improve the quality of life for stoma patients. Participants will be monitored over time to assess the effectiveness of the device in real-world settings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals living with stomas by reducing leakage incidents.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, there is limited information on the success of similar studies specifically evaluating digital notification systems for stoma care.
