Research recommendations
It will be important to identify the factors associated with treatment
success and failure if we are to ensure successful implementation and
treatment efficacy. Indeed, clarifying these factors could help to
improve the app’s content and to ensure that it targets the most
appropriate populations. Mixed-methods research could be of
benefit,25 and as such, we are currently preparing a
report that combines our quantitative and qualitative results.
Additionally, it will be important to evaluate and improve the
implementation process continuously by collecting user feedback and
evaluating log data.
We conclude that the app-based treatment for stress, urgency, and mixed
female UI is a cost-effective alternative to care-as-usual in general
practice after 12 months. App-based treatment can therefore be
recommended as a viable alternative to care-as-usual in general
practice.
