myProlapse

Functionality & Mechanism

Developed at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, myProlapse delivers interactive 3D anatomical content for patient education on enterocele. The system leverages a detailed 3D model, segmented from patient CT and MRI scans to ensure anatomical accuracy. Its interface facilitates model manipulation (rotation, zoom) and provides contextual information via selectable structures. An integrated animation visualizes prolapse progression, and supplementary modules deliver content on prevention strategies. The app offers full functionality in both English and Spanish.

Evidence & Research Context

• The app's anatomical model was developed using a de-identified CT urogram and pelvic MRI from a female diagnosed with enterocele post-hysterectomy.
• An evaluation study assessed the app's efficacy as a visual aid to supplement standard clinical counseling for post-hysterectomy women.
• The study utilized a randomized design, comparing standard counseling to counseling augmented by the myProlapse app.
• Preliminary data from pre- and post-intervention surveys suggest a high potential for the app to enhance patient anatomical understanding and decrease diagnosis-related anxiety.

Intended Use & Scope

This application is designed for healthcare providers as an adjunct educational tool during patient consultations about post-hysterectomy enterocele. Its primary utility is to visually supplement clinical explanations of pelvic anatomy and prolapse pathology. The app does not provide diagnostic information or treatment recommendations and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
