The Queensland-developed PeriCoach device that assists women doing pelvic floor muscle training for stress urinary incontinence has taken out the health category at the Queensland iAwards.
PeriCoach includes a personalised device using biofeedback sensors, an app that provides instructions and pre-programmed exercises, and a web portal where women can monitor their progress and share it with their GP or other chosen healthcare provider.
Clinicians can also send notes and develop custom protocols that can be directly sent to the app.
The device is available in Australia and New Zealand for $A298, and is also being distributed by prescription in the US, where it recently received FDA approval.
PeriCoach has been developed by ASX-listed Analytica, which is chaired by medical practitioner Michael Monsour, also principal of Godbar Software, which markets The Practice clinical and practice management software.
