First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called MyHealtheBladder to help women veterans manage urinary incontinence. Researchers will compare two ways of introducing the app at 20 VA clinics to see which works better. The main goal is to see how many women use the app and how engaged they are.
