1. An alignment aid for aligning an ostomy sensor with an ostomy appliance, the alignment aid comprising:
a sleeve having a first sleeve section and a second sleeve section, the first sleeve section and the second sleeve section connected along a connection line, with the connection line defining a hinge adapted to allow the first sleeve section to pivot and overlay the second sleeve section;
a release surface applied to the first sleeve section;
an adhesive proximal side of a sensor patch positioned on the release surface of the first sleeve section with a distal side of the sensor patch oriented to face away from the first sleeve section; and
an opening formed in the second sleeve section, where the opening is sized to receive an ostomy bag coupling device connected to a distal side of a base plate and orient an adhesive proximal side of the base plate upward away from the second sleeve section;
wherein, when the first sleeve section pivots about the hinge, the distal side of the sensor patch is coupled to the adhesive proximal side of the base plate and the first sleeve section is positioned as an outermost layer that removably covers the adhesive proximal side of a sensor patch.
