Case Study · Partner Search
Sensing hydration for ostomy patients.
A medical device company wanted to add hydration and stoma flow sensing to its ostomy care products. We identified 50 technologies, evaluated the top 10, contacted their developers and delivered a tiered list of potential partners.
The Client
The client is a medical device company focused on ostomy care products. It wanted co-development partners beyond the one it was already considering.
The Challenge
A fast-moving field.
Find the right partner.
Prescouter was asked to map non-invasive, wearable hydration measurement technologies and assess them for accuracy, reliability, ease of use, cost and fit with existing ostomy products.
