Summary
This study is testing Heylo™, a digital system that alerts people with a stoma when their baseplate is about to leak. The system includes a smartphone app, a sensor, and a Bluetooth transmitter. Researchers will follow 100 adults with an ileostomy or colostomy for 12 months to see if it improves quality of life and reduces leakage worries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Heylo™ digital leakage notification system (smartphone app, adhesive sensor, Bluetooth transmitter)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, Heylo™ could help people with a stoma feel more confident and reduce leakage-related distress, improving daily quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 100 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not prevent all leaks or work for all stoma types.
