| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is usually difficult to comply with the pelvic floor muscle training for prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence. Therefore, we developed an application software for smartphones that supports pelvic floor muscle training. The ongoing clinical trials is investigating its effect and utility for prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence. We are planning to make it accessible to the public through digital distribution platforms for computer software and the internet to ensure its costless and extensive use among women after the clinical trials.
