You’ve heard it before: “There’s an app for that!”
Well, now it seems there is an app for infertility too!
The LifeForce fertility app launched from the UK earlier this year in the UK. The first-of-its-kind application provides users with 24 hour access to fertility-related information directly on their iPhones, such as which fertility treatments to try and, if need be, the cheapest drugs to inquire with their doctors about to help conceive, by offering individually targeted fertility consultations with a UK clinician Dr Laurence Shaw, a leading consultant with over 30 years of reproductive medicine and surgery experience.
Through the application, Dr Shaw helps patients identify any fertility issues they may have and offers treatment options at the touch of the iPhone screen.
Such issues that Dr Shaw and the LifeForce fertility application address are tubal, ovulatory and sperm issues. Dr Shaw and the LifeForce fertility application discusses these issues prior to recommending IUI, IVF, as well as egg and sperm surrogacy. These discussions are delivered via video consultations for free through the iPhone and when you take into consideration how expensive a consultation appointment is at a local fertility doctor’s office, such as the Reproductive Care Center in Sandy, this app will more than pay for itself over time.
In addition to possible biological reasons, the LifeForce app also considers psychological factors that could be hampering a patient’s infertility. Renown UK counselor, Jules Williams, also has video’s on the iPhone in an effort to offer help to would-be parents who want to overcome any underlying mental blocks that they may have.
