1. A monitor device for releasable coupling to a sensor assembly of a base plate or a sensor patch for application to a base plate of an ostomy appliance, the monitor device comprising:
a housing,
an appliance interface configured for releasably coupling the monitor device to the sensor assembly in a fixed position relative to the sensor assembly, the appliance interface comprising a plurality of terminals for connecting with a plurality of electrodes of the sensor assembly,
a three-axis accelerometer, wherein the accelerometer is configured to generate a position signal, and
a processor arranged in said housing configured to determine, based on the position signal of the accelerometer, a spatial orientation of the monitor device relative to an ostomy of a user.
 
19. A monitor device for an ostomy appliance, the monitor device comprising:
a housing;
an accelerometer electrically coupled to the processor and configured to generate a position signal;
an appliance interface for releasably coupling the monitor device to a sensor assembly of an ostomy appliance in a fixed position relative to the sensor assembly, the appliance interface comprising a plurality of terminals to electrically couple with a plurality of electrodes of the sensor assembly; and
a processor arranged in the housing configured to determine, based on the position signal of the accelerometer, a spatial orientation of the monitor device relative to a stoma of a user.
