Pelex

Pelex is building a digital health platform that brings clinically validated, non-invasive solutions into the patient’s home, solving the access and delivery of care issues that plague most patients today. The foundation of the platform will be our connected device, which will both diagnose and treat the patient's pelvic floor dysfunction. The device will offer two types of therapy and connect to a telehealth platform to allow a healthcare provider to remotely monitor the patient’s progress and conduct a telehealth visit. A supportive community of patients, providers, and health advocates will empower patients to maintain their therapy for long term treatment.

HOW IT WORKS

The user sits on a cushion that is arrayed with sensors and electrodes. The Pelex device detects levels of muscle activity and let the user know if the pelvic exercises are being done correctly through a hand-held app. The device will also gently stimulate the nerves in the pelvic floor. This bio-feedback type of exercises and neurostimulation have proven to be the most effective in-office methods to improve pelvic floor health without creating further damage. Our goal is to have these best-in-class methods be available for home use.

Pelex is the result of a desire to do more for the people in our lives that give the most. Dr. Jeremy Wiygul is a urologist at Weill Cornell with over twenty years of clinical experience treating patients with pelvic floor disorders, and knows well the hurdles they face finding appropriate care. Even more importantly, he has seen what his own wife faced after childbirth, and how the entire care system makes it so difficult to get better. He became convinced there was a better way to care.
