Becoming an ostomy (stoma) patient is an incredibly tough thing to adjust to. The number of patients having either permanent or temporary stomas is rising at 10% per annum. Thanks to modern technology, there’s now a reliable way to prevent ostomy pouch overflow, and allow remote monitoring of output.
BEING A PATIENT ISN’T EASY…
The Ostom-i Alert sensor by 11 Health is a discrete innovative device that alerts patients as to how full their ostomy pouches are so that they can decide if and when to empty them. The device clips on to any ostomy pouch sending Bluetooth® alerts to a mobile phone or tablet app telling the user their pouch is filling up.

DELIVERING QUALITY OF CARE
“The scope of this product is unimaginable! From patient comfort and security to infection control. As a physician dealing with immuno suppressed patients, infection control is of paramount importance. Nurses handling stoma effluent in order to measure it can unknowingly transfer microbes from one patient to another. This can be radically cut down by automated, digitally generated volumes. Allowing safe, effective and accurate follow up of multiple patients on the same ward…”
