aWomen using app-based treatment purposefully sampled based on change of urinary incontinence severity (ICIQ-UI-SF score) after 4 months. All measures were self-reported and recorded at baseline except for the ICIQ-UI-SF change score and the PGI-I, which were recorded at 4-month follow-up.

bUI: urinary incontinence.

cLower: primary or secondary education; higher: tertiary education or higher.

dSeverity was based on International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form; range 0-21, higher score means worse incontinence.

ePGI-I: Patient Global Impression of Improvement, Likert scale ranging from 0 (very much worse) to 7 (very much better), with 4 reflecting no change.

fImpact based on International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life; range 19-67, higher score reflects larger impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life.

gPFMT: pelvic floor muscle therapy.

hYears in possession of device.
