Abstract
An ostomy bag can include one or more sensors for measuring one or more metrics. An ostomy wafer can also include one or more sensors for measuring one or more metrics. The sensors can be temperature sensors and/or capacitive sensors, for example, and the metrics can include bag fill, leakage, skin irritation, and phase of stoma output, among others.
Claims23
An ostomy wafer configured to be coupled to an ostomy bag, the ostomy wafer comprising:
- an adhesive layer configured to adhere to skin around a stoma of a living person;
- a flexible sensor layer coupled with the adhesive layer, the flexible sensor layer comprising a plurality of temperature sensors;
- and
- a plurality of conductors wired to the plurality of temperature sensors, the plurality of conductors configured to be electrically coupled with a processor located at or proximate to the ostomy bag so that signals from the plurality of temperature sensors are electrically communicated to the processor,
- wherein the flexible sensor layer comprises a neck and a body, the plurality of conductors being disposed in part on the neck.
