Leva Pelvic Health System Provides Enhanced Care with New Educational Content

Axena Health marks first milestone in long-term collaboration with Mayo Clinic to advance evidence-based care for the treatment of urinary incontinence

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axena Health, Inc. (Axena Health), a medical device company focused on female pelvic health, today announced new educational content on overactive bladder (OAB) from Mayo Clinic is now available to Leva users on the Leva^® Pelvic Health System smartphone app.

The content expands the Leva app’s existing educational resources on UI, now including additional information on the types of UI, tips on controlling urgency, understanding constipation and ways to manage it, and healthy bladder frequently asked questions (FAQs). Leva users can access the content directly while completing their 12-week at-home therapy program. As part of the collaboration, Axena Health expects to provide additional Mayo Clinic educational content to Leva users over time.

“This is an exciting step forward in our mission to redefine the standard of care for women’s pelvic health,” said Randy Pritchard, CEO of Axena Health. “Mayo Clinic is one of the most trusted names in healthcare – and integrating their educational expertise into our Leva System enhances our ability to serve patients with clinically grounded and evidence-based resources they can trust. We are grateful for their support and ongoing collaboration to deliver better patient outcomes.”

Education is a core component of Axena Health’s approach to treating UI. The Leva System is designed to provide women with a convenient, non-invasive option for UI treatment through a modern approach to supervised pelvic floor muscle training. The physician-prescribed program uniquely combines the FDA-cleared Leva device and smartphone app to provide at-home guided treatment, personalized coaching, educational resources, and progress tracking.

“A critical part of our Leva therapy is ensuring women feel educated and supported during their treatment,” added Dr. Mandy Pulliam, Chief Medical Officer of Axena Health. “By enhancing our existing educational resources in the Leva app with Mayo Clinic’s content, we are empowering women to better understand their condition and actively engage in their care.”
