Convatec me+ Companion™ App offers support for millions of intermittent catheter users

New free app offers users a practical tool to ensure their cathing journey starts smoothly 

Bridgewater, N.J., US, 1 August 2024 — Convatec, a leading medical products and technologies company, has launched a free digital app in the United States to support new intermittent catheter users and their healthcare professionals. Through our Convatec me+ Companion™ App, users can conveniently log beverage intake and urine output on their mobile device, set hydration goals, log leaks, and even create customised summary reports to download, print, and share. The app also offers access to Convatec Continence Care’s me+ support program, providing users with educational tools, resources, and support at their fingertips. We plan to expand the app to other markets in 2025.

Seth Segel, President & Chief Operating Officer, Continence Care & Home Services Group at Convatec, said: “New catheter users can be overwhelmed by changes in their lives. Often, they have basic questions and anxiety about fluid consumption patterns and their cathing frequency and efficacy. Similarly, their clinicians have asked for quick insights to help their patients ease into their new lifestyle effectively and smoothly. Having worked directly with end-users and healthcare professionals, we are excited to offer the Convatec me+ Companion app to solve these pain points for both audiences. This resource is just another example of how Convatec brings to life its forever caring promise with real-world solutions.” 

Proper hydration is a key factor in preventing and managing conditions like Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), kidney stones, and dehydration-related complications. The me+ Companion app is designed to offer a confidential, simple solution for both consumers and HCP’s. The app is now available to download and use from the App Store, or on Google Play.

About me+™
Launched in 2014, our me+™ program operates throughout Asia, Latin America, Europe and the US and aims to support people managing chronic conditions to help them enjoy their lives as well as support for clinicians and caregivers. The program provides access to product samples, a dedicated team of nurses over the phone and a range of online resources covering lifestyle tips and advice, educational tools and peer-to-peer support related to ostomy care and continence care.
