UTHealth empowers professional care and improves the quality of life of women with urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence results in chronic involuntary leakage. It affects one woman in three at some point of her life, and the risk increases with aging, childbirth, and overweight. It causes a very negative impact on daily living and quality of life, generating low self-esteem, isolation, depression, and sexual dysfunction. It is commonly the result of weak pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and the standard of care is 12 weeks of physiotherapist training, but is inconvenient and time-consuming. Its efficacy is related to adherence and therapist supervision, but performing the contractions properly is demanding and difficult, so many patients eventually give up or do it wrong.
WOMENUP is a digital therapeutics solution for self-management of female urinary incontinence at home with therapist supervision. It consists of a biofeedback vaginal probe that allows the patient to train her pelvic floor while playing serious games on a mobile app, and monitored by her therapist with a telemedicine platform. The patented and certified solution is clinically validated with a multi-centric European clinical trial of 263 patients, that ensures pelvic floor training efficacy and adherence, while reducing time and costs for the health system.
