Publication number: 20210386368Abstract: An ostomy appliance system includes an ostomy appliance having a stoma opening and a first electrical interface, and at least one thermal sensor configured to detect at least one thermal property, such as temperature, at the ostomy appliance, the at least one temperature sensor connected to the first electrical interface with electrical circuitry. A wearable device may be removably connected to the ostomy appliance and operably connected to the at least one thermal sensor. The wearable device includes a housing, a second electrical interface configured for electrical connection to the first electrical interface, a power supply and a controller operably connected to the power supply. The controller is configured to determine a condition of the ostomy appliance based on the at least one thermal property detected at the at least one thermal sensor. The wearable device may also include a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a personal communication device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2019Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Jonas P.

Publication number: 20210338471Abstract: An ostomy appliance includes a substrate and at least one Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuit disposed on the substrate. The RFID circuit includes a RFID transponder having an antenna and a conductive ink connected in series with the antenna and the RFID transponder. The conductive ink is configured to dissolve in response to exposure to moisture. The RFID circuit is in a closed condition when the conductive ink extends continuously between the RFID transponder and the antenna. The RFID circuit is in an open condition when at least a portion of the conductive ink is dissolved.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2019Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Michael P. Nolan, Christina Augustyn, James Brandon Barker, Jonas P. Carlsson, Ryan S. Park, Scott Janis, Stephanie Henze, Christopher Michael Wlezien, Somasunder Vijay Sekaran, Germain Verbrackel, Robert Lane
