1. An ostomy system, comprising:
a monitor device;
an ostomy appliance comprising a base plate, the base plate having an adhesive layer and sensors arranged in a ring configuration, the sensors are each configured to detect a corresponding electrical property of the adhesive label the base plate; and
an accessory device comprising:
a memory;
a processor; and
a monitor interface coupled to the processor and configured to communicate with the monitor device, wherein the processor is configured to:
determine, based on monitor data, an operating state of the base plate, wherein the monitor data is obtained from the monitor device via the monitor interface and comprises sensor data from the one or more sensors of the base plate of the ostomy appliance that indicate, for each center the corresponding electrical property of the adhesive layer of the base plate;
determine a geographic location of the accessory device;
determine, based on the determined geographic location of the accessory device, a location parameter for the geographic location;
process the operating state of the base plate to generate an actual wear time of the base plate based on the location parameter determined based on the geographic location of the accessory device in the operating state corresponding to the one or more sensors of the base plate; and
display an indication of the actual wear time for the ostomy appliance.
