ONGOING RESEARCH
In order to follow the use and the effect of treatment when the app is freely available, there are some questions integrated into the app regarding age, education, rural or urban living and urinary leakage. After three months there are follow-up questions regarding urinary leakage and exercises. Answering the questionnaires are optional, and entered data is anonymously transferred to the research database. The answers cannot be traced to a specific user or telephone number. The study is approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board, Umeå University (Dnr 2014-389-32M). More information at www.econtinence.se.
