From 23 to 25 October 2024, Madrid hosted the 54th edition of the annual meeting of the International Continence Society (ICS), the leading multi-disciplinary event in the continence field, bringing together healthcare professionals in the fields of urology, gynaecology, physiotherapy and nursing with the common interest of treating incontinence.

The future of continence was the central theme of the meeting, with discussions exploring cutting-edge research and innovations. Talks from multiple sessions highlighted that we are entering a digital revolution in continence care, from the development of mobile apps for self-monitoring and remote patient monitoring to the many abstracts and talks about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in functional urology. Examples of AI application in the continence field presented at the meeting ranged from risk prediction to the analysis of genetic background to the improvement of phenotyping and diagnosis starting from already available data. Some of these topics were also organically covered in a round table discussion in which Andrew Gammie, Wouter Van Dort and Thomas van Steenbergen discussed rationale, methods, potential and challenges of big data analysis in urodynamics.

2024 年 10 月 23 日至 25 日，马德里主办了第 54 届国际尿失禁协会 （ICS） 年会，这是尿失禁领域领先的多学科活动，汇集了泌尿外科、妇科、物理治疗和护理领域的医疗保健专业人士，他们共同关注治疗尿失禁。

节制的未来是会议的中心主题，讨论了探索前沿的研究和创新。多场会议的演讲强调，我们正在进入失禁护理的数字革命，从开发用于自我监测和远程患者监测的移动应用程序到许多关于人工智能 （AI） 和机器学习在功能泌尿外科中的应用的摘要和讨论。会议上介绍的 AI 在失禁领域的应用示例包括风险预测、遗传背景分析，以及从现有数据开始改进表型和诊断。其中一些主题也在圆桌讨论中有机地进行了讨论，Andrew Gammie、Wouter Van Dort 和 Thomas van Steenbergen 讨论了尿动力学中大数据分析的基本原理、方法、潜力和挑战。
