Abstract
Context: Improved continence outcomes are reliant on identification of unmet need, education delivery, and shared decision‐making. The evidence base on which to derive innovative approaches in these areas was unclear.
Methods: A debate held at the International Consultation on Incontinence‐Research Society meeting, held in Bristol in June 2024, considered ways to improve research requirements to advance these areas.
Results and Conclusion: Artificial intelligence solutions and digital approaches to healthcare are emerging at pace and offer possibilities to improve these three key areas but this must be driven by person‐centered approaches. Care must be taken to avoid increasing inequality through digital exclusion and language barriers. Research questions are highlighted to derive innovation in these three key areas.
