Evaluating the Feasibility of a Web-App for Pelvic Floor Health in Pregnant Women in the Ferrol Health Area: the WaPRUIN Study

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using a web-based application to improve pelvic floor health in pregnant women within the Ferrol Health Area, Spain. The intervention involves providing educational resources through a user-friendly digital platform, designed to empower women with knowledge about pelvic floor function and techniques for strengthening it during pregnancy.

The study hypothesizes that a web-based educational tool can effectively increase awareness, engagement, and adherence to pelvic floor exercises among pregnant women, thereby contributing to improved maternal health outcomes. Participants will include pregnant women from the Ferrol Health Area, who will voluntarily use the application during their pregnancy.

The study will assess outcomes related to usability, accessibility, and participant satisfaction with the application, as well as any improvements in pelvic floor-related health indicators. By addressing an important gap in maternal health education, this project has the potential to provide an innovative and scalable solution to enhance prenatal care.
