What this trial studies
The KOKU Bladder initiative aims to create and evaluate a digital health program designed to enhance bladder health among adults aged 50 and older. Utilizing a participatory approach, the program will be co-developed with input from end-users, health professionals, and researchers across multiple countries, including Lithuania, Spain, and the UK. The project will involve focus groups to gather insights and preferences, followed by the implementation of a randomized controlled trial to assess the program's feasibility and acceptability. A mixed methods approach will be employed to analyze both quantitative and qualitative data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve bladder health management and quality of life for older adults experiencing urinary incontinence.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using digital health solutions for managing urinary incontinence, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
