INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD, is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. If prolonged, this inflammation results in damage to the GI tract. It is a chronic condition that impacts many facets of the lives of those afflicted. People suffering from IBD often miss work or school and report feeling like they miss out on a large part of life due to having to plan around their condition.
-
How long does each cartridge last?The cartridge must be replaced after each episode and they are very easy to replace manually.
-
How loud is the alarm on this device?The sound notification is not very loud, it is only meant to be heard by the person wearing the device. It is loud enough for the user to hear it, while in a loud public setting, but quiet enough that others do not perceive it.
-
Do I have to replace the Battery frequently?No, they are very effective when it comes to power preservation and will last multiple years without the need for a replacement.
-
Should I take off the device before going to sleep?No, Alvum does not cause discomfort while you sleep, and it will continue to function while you rest.
-
Is Alvum waterproof?Yes, the technology of this product is inside a sleek container that does not let any water through.
-
How much warning time will I have before an episode starts?Typically, signs of an IBD exacerbation can be detected 2-6 hours prior to the episode, but every body has different mechanics of dealing with IBD, so the exact time specifically for each individual cannot be determined and may vary in-between episodes.
-
How accurate is Alvum at predicting IBD?The device measures specific signs of an IBD exacerbation in your sweat, which makes it fool proof, because once those are detected it is almost certain that an episode will occur. However, Alvum cannot predict the expected severity of an upcoming episode.
