Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to one or more monitoring devices with human-readable identifiers. In an exemplary embodiment, an ostomy system comprises an ostomy appliance comprising a sensor assembly and at least two monitor devices. The at least two monitor devices comprise a first monitor device and a second monitor device. Each of the at least two monitor 5 devices is configured to collect data from the sensor assembly. Further, the first monitor device comprises a first human-readable identifier and the second monitor device comprises a second human-readable identifier that is different from the first human-readable identifier.

Claims (28)

1 . An ostomy system comprising:

an ostomy appliance comprising a sensor assembly;

at least two monitor devices, including a first monitor device having a first human-readable identifier and a second monitor device having a second human-readable identifier, each of the at least two monitor devices being configured to collect data from the sensor assembly; and

an accessory device comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the accessory device, cause the accessory device to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:

creating, in response to a first user input indicating the first-human readable identifier, a first monitor device profile associated with the first human-readable identifier; and

creating, in response to a second user input indicating the second human-readable identifier, a second monitor device profile associated with the second human-readable identifier.

2 . The ostomy system according to claim 1 , wherein the accessory device comprises a first interface configured to communicate with each of the at least two monitor devices and a user interface configured to receive at least one of the first user input or the second user input.

3 . The ostomy system according to claim 2 , wherein;

each of the first and second monitor device profiles is selectable by a user through the user interface,

the accessory device, in response to receiving the first user input indicative of the first monitor device profile being selected, is configured to transmit a first device signal to the first monitor device indicative of the first monitor device profile being selected, and

the accessory device, in response to receiving the second user input indicative of the second monitor device profile being selected, is configured to transmit a second device signal to the second monitor device indicative of the second monitor device profile being selected.

4 . The ostomy system according to claim 2 , wherein the user interface of the accessory device is configured to display an operating status of each of the at least two monitor devices.

5 . The ostomy system according to claim 4 , wherein the operating status is indicative of a battery level of a battery of each of the at least two monitor devices.

6 . The ostomy system according to claim 4 , wherein the operating status is indicative of a data collection mode of each of the at least two monitor devices.

7 . The ostomy system according to claim 2 , wherein the set of operations performed by the accessory device to further comprises:

obtaining first monitor data from the first monitor device; and

obtaining second monitor data from the second monitor device.

8 . The ostomy system according to claim 7 , wherein the set of operations performed by the accessory device to further comprises pooling the first monitor data and the second monitor data.

9 . The ostomy system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second human-readable identifiers comprises a set of characters selected from Latin letters and Arabic numerals.

10 . The ostomy system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second human-readable identifiers is selected from a combination of characters, a color, a geometric shape, a pie chart icon, and a flat design icon.

11 . The ostomy system according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second human-readable identifiers are provided by means of engraving, dyeing, or printing on the first and second monitor devices, respectively.

12 . The ostomy system according to claim 2 further comprising a server configured to communicate with the accessory device.

13 . The ostomy system according to claim 12 , wherein the set of operations performed by accessory device further comprises:

obtaining first monitor data from the first monitor device;

obtaining second monitor data from the second monitor device; and

providing the first monitor data and second monitor data from the accessory device to the server, thereby pooling the first monitor data and the second monitor data in a unique user profile at the server.

14 . The ostomy system of claim 1 , wherein the first human-readable identifier is different than the second human-readable identifier, thereby uniquely identifying each of the first monitor device and the second monitor device.

15 . The ostomy system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second human-readable identifiers comprises maximally four characters providing at least 50,000 different combinations.
