New Generation Smart Pouch Designs for Ostomates

The Stomasense Research Group are involved in the design and development of new materials and sensing technologies that aim to overcome some of the issues faced by ostomates. Innovative approaches that could allow patients to monitor the condition of the pouch and which can analyse the contents of the output could be pivotal in enhancing care pathways and improving quality of life.  The team have been sponsored by various bodies including InvestNI and the UKRI Medical Research Council.
