Modular Lattice Protection System
At the core of the system is a reusable protective lattice that is worn externally over the ostomy appliance. This lattice absorbs and distributes impact while remaining lightweight and breathable, helping users feel safer during everyday activities. Unlike rigid covers, the open lattice structure improves comfort and airflow while also serving as a stable housing for monitoring components.
Low-cost Sensor System
The sensor system provides early leak awareness using a simple, non-invasive approach. Low-cost chemical indicator strips change color when exposed to moisture or abnormal conditions and are positioned so leaks naturally contact them. A compact camera and lighting system monitors these strips and detects color changes automatically, keeping electronics safely isolated from bodily fluids. This design enables reliable early alerts while remaining affordable, reusable, and easy to use.
Mobile App & Alert System
The mobile app extends the system by transforming sensor data into clear, actionable alerts. When a significant change is detected, the app notifies the user in real time, allowing them to respond before a minor issue becomes a serious problem. The app can also display simple trends over time and enable caregiver notifications, supporting greater independence and peace of mind. This optional digital layer turns passive monitoring into proactive care while keeping the overall system simple and user-centered.
