wherein the plurality of terminals is electrically exposed on a perimeter of the rim. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The base plate of claim 1, wherein the coupling part comprises a rim and a base, with the base secured to the base plate and the rim projecting in a radial direction away from the base and the base plate; wherein the rim further comprises an alignment member configured to guide the monitor device from an attachment position to a secured position with the coupling part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The base plate of claim 3, wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The base plate of claim 3, wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling formed on an outer surface of the rim. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The base plate of claim 3, wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling comprising a channel adapted for rotational coupling of the monitor device to the coupling part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The base plate of claim 3, wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling comprising a channel, and the channel includes an entry opening adjacent a distal end of the rim and a stop adjacent the base. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The base plate of claim 1, wherein the coupling part comprises a rim and a base, with the base secured to the base plate and the rim extending distal relative to the base and the base plate, with the base plate further comprising a waterproofing element disposed at a location where the rim meets the base. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The base plate of claim 8, wherein the waterproofing element is a ring disposed around the rim at the location where the rim meets the base. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The base plate of claim 8, wherein the waterproofing element is formed from one of rubber, polyurethane, and silicone material. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The base plate of claim 8, wherein the waterproofing element is releasably attached to the base plate. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The base plate of claim 1, wherein the coupling part comprises a magnet adapted to couple with a magnetic element of the monitor device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The base plate of claim 1, wherein the base plate further comprises a first adhesive layer adapted to adhere the base plate to skin of a user and the plurality of terminals is coupled to the first adhesive layer. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The base plate of claim 1, wherein the coupling part is adapted to form a releasable mechanical and electrical coupling with the monitor device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The base plate of claim 1, wherein the base plate comprises a first adhesive layer adapted to adhere the base plate to skin of a user and the plurality of terminals is provided in an electrode assembly that is coupled to the first adhesive layer. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The base plate according to claim 1, wherein, when the monitor device is connected to the coupling part, the monitor device is adapted to collect ostomy data from the base plate.
