About

Zinah Al-Zaidi is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of digital health innovation and urological rehabilitation. Her primary research focuses on the use of mobile health technology to support pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in men undergoing radical prostatectomy. In her most cited work, a 2022 prospective cohort study conducted in Sweden, she evaluated the feasibility and utility of a mobile app designed to guide patients through PFMT initiated before surgery. This study, which has garnered 4 citations, represents a significant contribution to patient-centered perioperative care by demonstrating how digital tools can empower men to actively participate in their recovery. Al-Zaidi’s research addresses a critical gap in post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, offering a scalable, low-cost intervention that could improve continence outcomes and quality of life. Her work is particularly notable for its focus on prehabilitation—starting therapy before surgery—a forward-thinking approach that challenges traditional postoperative rehabilitation models. As a researcher based in Sweden, Al-Zaidi is helping to shape the future of urological care by merging evidence-based physiotherapy with accessible mobile technology, making her a key voice in the growing field of eHealth for surgical recovery.
