Abstract:
The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of smartphone "apps" within the field of female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) and the role they play in improving patient education. The authors conducted a keyword search using the search tab in the Apple App Store. The apps selected were ones that specifically pertained to female pelvic medicine. A total of 13 apps were found. The apps were separated into three categories: patient education (five apps), wellness (four apps), and reference (four apps). The majority of the patient education apps consisted of anatomical diagrams of the pelvis and anatomy videos to help explain the pathophysiology behind different pelvic and voiding disorders. Female pelvic medicine apps have a large focus on patient education, which can help patients achieve a greater understanding of female pelvic disorders and the treatment options that are available.
