Digital Medical Device Companion (MyIUS) for New Users of Intrauterine Systems: App Development Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women choosing a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system may experience changes in their menstrual bleeding pattern during the first months following placement.

Objective

Although health care professionals (HCPs) can provide counseling, no method of providing individualized information on the expected bleeding pattern or continued support is currently available for women experiencing postplacement bleeding changes. We aim to develop a mobile phone-based medical app (MyIUS) to meet this need and provide a digital companion to women after the placement of the intrauterine system.

Methods

The MyIUS app is classified as a medical device and uses an artificial intelligence-based bleeding pattern prediction algorithm to estimate a woman's future bleeding pat
