OstoBuddy

Empowering Ostomates Globally

2023 Winner!

Lyfebulb Global Innovation Challenge, in Collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb: Addressing Unmet Needs in IBD

Built by Ostomates

OstoBuddy was “born” in March of 2014. The innovator continually put post-it notes on his bathroom mirror to keep track of pouch changes in an effort to prevent pouch leakage, skin problems and scattered tracking of the amount of supplies on hand. With travel a large part of his job and the post-it notes at home, keeping track of pouch changes and time for re-order was difficult.

With a background in business and engineering, the initial design iterations began to come to life. Delivering an optimized user experience was a key objective and required months of research and development to identify the perfect delivery team. There were many contributors throughout the development lifecycle which consisted of, Bloggers, Software Engineers, Ostomy Patients.
