The app Tät®III is intended to support men with pelvic floor exercises in cases where these kinds of exercises have been recommended by medical staff. Urine leakage upon coughing, jumping or sneezing – stress incontinence – is common after an operation for prostate cancer. It is recommended that pelvic floor exercises start before the operation is performed, and that the exercises continue after the operation. Read more about the app

The new version of the Tät® app has a new splash screen and it is possible to change the background image. Every type of contraction has got a unique sound. The function “Quick jump” allows you to jump directly to the exercise you used last time. Texts about “Terms of use” and “Privacy policy” are updated. As previously, we follow up usage and results using anonymous surveys in the app, and so far 76,000 women have answered our surveys. Find out more about the app here and more about the study here.
Use of the Tät app helped women to self-manage their incontinence. The app was appreciated as a tool supporting their motivation to carry through a slightly challenging pelvic floor exercise programme. Read more about the results from an interview study here
