Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: SmartBag armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Alfred SmartBag System will be placed on the ostomy site during surgery. The system will be used to wirelessly monitor ostomy function in the hospital setting and the patient will otherwise receive the standard of care. At discharge the patient will continue to use the Alfred SmartBag System and ostomy function will be monitored by the research and clinical teams remotely. If participant's output is (i) less than 50mL or greater than 1500mL per day or (ii) greater than 1200mL in two days; the mobile app will alert not only the participant but also the clinical staff (nurse). Participants will also receive support from a 'Patient Coach', a trained health coach who is also an ostomy patient to provide quality of life support.
