A Randomized Cross-over Trial Investigating Heylo, a Novel App Driven Digital Supporting Ostomy Product
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
People with intestinal stomas can have, despite development of better ostomy products, problems with leakage which influence their quality of life negatively.
To overcome this, Coloplast has developed a new supporting ostomy product called Heylo™, which has an adhesive sensor layer that should be placed underneath the baseplate. The sensor layer consists of an electronic sensor system that continuously detects moisture and output leakage underneath the baseplate. A transmitter connected to the sensor layer continuously evaluates the incoming information and sends a status to a smartphone software application, which based on a predefined flow decides which information to deliver to the user about the baseplate status.
The overall aim of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the benefits of the new supporting product, Heylo compared to Standard of Care.

Detailed Description
The Investigational device - Heylo, is already CE-marked.
The investigation is an open-labelled, randomized cross-over trial with two test periods evaluating Heylo and Standard of Care.
In total 144 subjects having an ileostomy or an colostomy will be included and randomized.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Test Product - Heylo The Test product will be used together with the subjects own ostomy products. Subjects will change the products as usual, according to their normal change routine |
Device: Heylo
Heylo is used in combination with the ostomy baseplate usually used by the subjects. It will detect and notify the subject of the occurrence of output leakage under an ostomy baseplate.
Device: Standard of Care
Standard of Care is the ostomy products (baseplate and bag) that the subject normally uses
|
Active Comparator: Standard of Care In the Standard of Care arm, the subjects will only use their own ostomy products. Subjects will change the products as usual, according to their normal change routine |
Device: Heylo
Heylo is used in combination with the ostomy baseplate usually used by the subjects. It will detect and notify the subject of the occurrence of output leakage under an ostomy baseplate.
Device: Standard of Care
Standard of Care is the ostomy products (baseplate and bag) that the subject normally uses

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Emotional impact score [16 weeks +/- 6 days]
Measured by the validated OLI scale evaluated at the end of each test period
Secondary Outcome Measures
