Journal: Interactive journal of medical research
Published Date: May 5, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence affects approximately 7% to 10% of children during the day and 9% to 12% of children during the night. Treatment mainly involves lifestyle advice and behavioral methods, but motivation and adherence are low. Traditional tools such as pen-and-paper solutions may feel outdated and no longer meet the needs of today's "digital native" children. Meanwhile, digital interventions have already shown effectiveness in other pediatric health care areas.
