NCT ID NCT07697508
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a remote monitoring system that uses artificial intelligence to help women after childbirth perform pelvic floor muscle training correctly. Participants use a mobile app and a home device, while healthcare providers track their progress and give feedback. The goal is to see if this approach improves muscle strength and training compliance compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-powered remote monitoring and feedback system for pelvic floor rehabilitation
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this system could help postpartum women perform pelvic floor exercises correctly and consistently, potentially reducing pelvic floor disorders like incontinence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 96 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The system relies on app and device use, which may not suit everyone.
