Our engineering teams work closely with patients, nurses and physicians to create the most elegant and seamless end user experience across all of our ostomy solutions.

The ostom-i Alert Sensor from 11 Health and Technologies Limited is a discrete connected medical device alerting patients in real time when their ostomy pouch is at a point where it should be emptied, helping to prevent any unpleasant surprises.
