Urinary Incontinence is an underdiagnosed and underreported problem that increases with age. According to the National Association for Continence, an estimated 200 million people suffer from this condition worldwide. Childbirth is a leading cause for women and incontinence is reported to be the second leading reason for admission to a nursing home for the elderly. The effects of these disorders range from daily living disruptions to incapacitating people in their personal, social and occupational everyday lives. According to published studies, the economic burden, due to pelvic floor disorders, to the US healthcare system is estimated to surpass $80 billion per year in 2020.

"Our combination of healthcare knowledge and partnership with the physicians allows us to offer the latest technological advances to patients in a clinical, medical, and private environment, which we believe will encourage those suffering to seek treatment and allow them to be in control of their lives. Consortia's ProPelvic solutions are medically driven and offer clinicians an integrated delivery method of treatment to serve their patients. Published peer review studies report an 80- 90% improvement of symptoms," stated Mary Lake Polan, MD, PhD, MPH Clinical Professor in Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University and Chair of the Consortia Health Clinical/Medical Advisory Board.
