Introducing Elvie Trainer Enhancing pelvic floor muscle training compliance, technique and outcomes There’s a high prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction: 37% of women suffer from at least one type of pelvic floor dysfunction[1]; 50-80% of women experience some form of bladder problem during pregnancy and after the birth of their baby[2]; and, there’s an 11% lifetime surgery risk as a result of stress urinary incontinence or prolapse.[3] Pelvic floor muscle training is effective in treating stress, urgency or mixed urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and lower bowel dysfunction[4]. Pelvic floor muscle training improves symptoms in up to 70% of cases of stress urinary incontinence[5] and increases the chance of an improvement in prolapse stage by 17%. 30% of women cannot perform a healthy pelvic floor contraction with only written or verbal instruction[7]. Comparing pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback to pelvic floor muscle training alone, patients using biofeedback see better improvement and a better longterm effect on motivation.[7] Introducing Elvie Trainer: • The over-the-counter pelvic floor muscle training guide and tracker for single-patient use, enabling patients to benefit from clinical biofeedback at home • The only pelvic floor exercise tracker with an accelerometer, to detect and correct if a woman is performing a Valsalva maneuver instead of the correct cranioventral lift – potentially causing herself harm – as 30% of women do[8] • Recommended by over 1000 health professionals globally, private and public Elvie Trainer’s biofeedback, gamification and notifications enhance compliance and improve outcomes: • Elvie Trainer users are engaged: Before using Elvie Trainer, 22% of users never exercised their pelvic floor and 43% only did so rarely; when using Elvie Trainer, 87% of users exercise their pelvic floor at least once a month, with 53% exercising at least three times a week and 15% exercising at least once a day. For users who already performed pelvic floor exercise, 69% reported an increase in frequency after purchasing Elvie Trainer[9] • Elvie Trainer users improve: 8 in 10 users who purchase Elvie Trainer to treat bladder problems feel improvements (98% do so in less than 6 weeks)[10] • Elvie Trainer users are happy: 9 in 10 would recommend Elvie Trainer to a friend or colleague[10] Elvie Trainer is available to patients through health and medical partners including: Elvie Trainer has received 12 design and innovation awards including: Princeton Medical Group US Award Winner AXA PPP Health Tech and You 2015 Clínica Dexeus Spain Product Design Red Dot Design Award 2016 63-66 Hatton Garden - London, EC1N 8LE - United Kingdom | +44 (0)203 745 5201 USA: [email protected] | UK, Europe & Rest of World: [email protected] Award Winner Hardware The Europas 2017 Award Winner HealthTechX Eu
