1. An ostomy system operable to inform an ostomate of an ostomy device condition useful in preventing leakage relative to the ostomy device, the ostomy system comprising:
a base plate comprising an adhesive layer on a proximal side of the base plate that is adapted to secure the base plate to skin of a user;
an electrode assembly coupled to the adhesive layer, the electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes, an electrical connection part, and a sensing part;
a coupling part having a first end that is connected with the electrical connection part of the electrode assembly and a second end that is movable in a distal direction away from a distal side of the base plate; and
a monitor device adapted to electrically collect and transmit leakage data to the user, the monitor device provided with an opening sized to receive the second end of the coupling part;
wherein the electrode assembly is configured to sense ostomy data including moisture propagation in the adhesive layer,
wherein the monitor device, when connected to the coupling part, is configured to collect the ostomy data and inform the user of a future leakage condition.
