MALVERN, PA — Endo, Inc. (OTCQX: NDOI) has introduced a free self-assessment app designed to help men manage Peyronie’s disease (PD), a condition involving penile curvature that can be both physically and emotionally challenging. The app, recently highlighted in the peer-reviewed journal Translational Andrology and Urology, provides tools for symptom tracking and support for discussions with healthcare providers.
According to Dr. Gregory A. Broderick, a urologist and the lead author of the article, the app addresses a critical barrier faced by many men dealing with PD. “Men can be reluctant to discuss curvature deformities with healthcare providers due to the intimate nature of the topic and possible embarrassment,” Dr. Broderick explained. “The app was designed to give men the resources to confidently document their symptoms, prepare them for a visit with a urologist and take charge of their PD.”
The app includes various features, such as:
- A self-assessment questionnaire to help users understand their symptoms.
- Image scanning tools to document and track penile curvature over time.
- Educational materials from the Sexual Medicine Society of North America.
- A physician locator to connect users with urology specialists.
Users can save their data securely within the app on their own device and share the information with their healthcare providers to assist in evaluating PD symptoms. While the app is not a diagnostic or treatment tool, it serves as a valuable resource to support conversations with medical professionals.
This innovative technology reflects a collaborative effort by healthcare professionals, including Dr. Jesse N. Mills, Dr. Mohit Khera, and project managers Lisa Bathish and Christopher Davis, who contributed to its development.
The Peyronie’s disease self-assessment app is now available for download in the App Store and Google Play, offering men a new way to address a sensitive condition with discretion and confidence. For medical advice, users are encouraged to consult directly with their physicians.
