Abstract
A method of monitoring pressure applied to adhere an ostomy appliance to skin is disclosed. The method includes providing an ostomy wafer having a backing layer, an adhesive layer attached to a proximal side of the backing layer, and a sensor configured to be placed on a distal side of the backing layer. The sensor has a proximal film attached to a distal film and a coating on at least one of the proximal film and the distal film. The method includes placing the adhesive layer onto skin and applying pressure to the sensor and observing visible feedback from the coating recording a location of the pressure applied to the sensor and the ostomy wafer.
