The PI of the Pad Project, Tiina Vaittinen, partipated in the International Continence Society Ethical Committee work in writing a white paper on ethical considerations in older adults with urinary incontinence.

Along with a range of experts from other fields, our project’s PI, Tiina Vaittinen, was interviewed for this podcast, produced by Stora Enso, which asks:
