The WOMEN-UP project aims to improve the quality of life of women with urinary incontinence, in addition to reducing long-term care costs and lost productivity. Funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 programme, the WOMEN-UP project has developed an integrated eHealth system for pelvic floor muscle training and lifestyle modifications that allow women to follow the treatment at home with remote supervision.

It consists of several video lessons in English with Spanish subtitles. Those who successfully complete the tests and assessment questionnaires will be issued a certificate of participation. Registration will remain open while the MOOC is available online, since it does not require much dedication and can be completed at any time.

The WOMEN-UP project is coordinated by Miguel Ángel Mañanas, a researcher of the CREB, a research centre which forms part of the Innovation and Technology Centre (CIT UPC). Miguel Ángel Mañanas is also a professor at the UPC's Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering (ETSEIB) and the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE). Dr Monserrat Espuña is responsible for the clinical coordination of the project. She is a senior consultant and head of the Pelvic Floor Unit of the Clínic Institute of Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Neonatology (ICGON) of the Hospital Clínic and a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Barcelona.
