This BuddeComm report includes a Telecoms Maturity Index (TMI) that measures and ranks the maturity of a country’s telecoms industry on a scale of 1 to 100. Countries are placed into one of three categories: ‘Market Leaders’, ‘Market Challengers’, or ‘Market Emergents’, according to their Market Index score. The Index has been devised as a tool to compare the different markets easily and uniformly, and is itself dependent on a number of parameters such as fixed broadband and mobile broadband penetration. GDP is also included in one chart for illustrative purposes and as a gauge to help decipher market maturity.

Incontinence refers to any involuntary or accidental leakage of urine or feces and is an inevitable part of aging or disability. According to the International Continence Society (ICS), urinary incontinence involves conditions associated with any involuntary leakage of urine. A few common types of UI include stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Over the years, urinary incontinence has proved to be a challenging problem for carers of elderly individuals and people with chronic health problems. Most individuals with incontinence issues face problems while sleeping at night. Several treatments are available to improve, manage, or cure incontinence issues. Some of these measures include a high-fiber diet, pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, training in good toilet habits, and the use of aids such as incontinence pads.
