Digital Innovations to Transform Sexual Medicine Care

Male sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, ejaculatory dysfunction, low libido,
and low testosterone, affects most men at some point and often requires chronic management. However, access
to evidence-based care in Canada is limited, care is fragmented across disciplines, and existing digital platforms
lack efficiency and innovation in sexual medicine.
Teumo Health Technologies Inc. has developed a specialized digital platform to integrate multidisciplinary care,
automate patient education, and customize workflows for specific conditions. Two proposed research projects aim
to enhance care delivery using this platform.
One project focuses on developing machine learning tools for erectile dysfunction, improving dose titration
efficiency for intracavernosal injections and enhancing provider data visualization. Another project aims to create
an assessment tool for Peyronie’s disease using computer vision and machine learning to improve accuracy and
standardization. These innovations aim to improve patient outcomes, provider efficiency, and system
effectiveness, ultimately achieving Health Canada approval.
