Novel digital leakage notification system can promote better stoma management routines: a multicentre clinical trial.

Background: Most people with a stoma are anxious about stoma-related leakage.

Aims: To investigate the impact of a novel digital leakage notification system on worry related to stoma leakage, and to evaluate the effect on overall stoma care management.

Method: A 12-week interventional, single-arm, multicentre study was conducted in the UK to evaluate the novel digital leakage notification system, including a telemedicine-based support service (=test product), as part of routine stoma care in patients with a recent stoma formation (ClinicalTrials.

A pilot study of a digital ostomy leakage notification system: impact on worry and quality of life.

Background: More than 90% of people with an ostomy worry about leakage, with associated high rates of psychological morbidity.

Aims: To assess the performance of a novel digital ostomy leakage notification system in subjects with faecal stomas who experience and worry about leakage.

Method: A prospective, single-arm, pilot study (ClinicalTrials.
