About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to establish the effectiveness of a resource based educational psychosexual app for patients attending a waiting list for psychosexual therapy. The app will provide information on sexual dysfunction, kegel exercises, cognitive and mindfulness exercises, along with suitable resources providing information on sexual functioning for men and women. The app will integrate artificial intelligence to improve user experience and efficiency.

The current waiting lists for the National Health Service Psychosexual services are approximately 6 months. Based on this, a pre test post test study measuring participants' sexual functioning, well being, cognitive mindfulness and quality of life will be taken at points 0, 8 and 16 weeks.

Outcomes will assess whether the app was sufficient for these domains. This might further reduce the strain on the National Health Service's resources.

It is hypothesised that app use from weeks 0, 8, and 16 follow up will improve sexual functioning, well being, quality of life, and cognitive mindfulness.
