Harley Street fertility doctors are set to help would-be parents start a family quickly and without the huge expense of using fertility clinics through a new iPhone application
The LifeForce fertility app is set to launch on iTunes next Tuesday (27 April 2010) for £3.99, and provides a revolutionary new way of accessing treatment, without having to suffer long NHS waiting lists and pay out £5,000-a-cycle for private IVF centres.
The app also gives women and their partners 24-hour access to information on the best treatments and, if necessary, the cheapest drugs to help them start a family.
Harley Street clinician Dr Laurence Shaw, a leading consultant with nearly 30 years experience in reproductive medicine and surgery will be giving advice on the application.
Dr Shaw helps identify the problems with each individual LifeForce patient and offers the best treatment at the touch of the screen, taking the user through the diagnosis of their fertility problems.
Using the detailed menu options on the touch screen the patient is taken through their possible fertility problems, from tubal, ovulatory and sperm problems before considering the need for ICI, IVF and finally egg or sperm surrogacy.
The LifeForce also looks at possible psychological factors with the patient’s infertility and top UK counsellor Jules Williams on video providing help for prospective parents to overcome underlying mental blocks, thereby reducing stress levels that are often a major obstacle to a successful pregnancy.
LifeForce is the brainchild of Rosemary Reed who devised the app after going though the ordeal of IVF on several occasions herself.
Rosemary said, ‘The fertility industry in this country is making a fortune out of desperate people struggling to start a family and 75% of the time the treatments don’t even work. I thought people were getting a raw deal so I decided to create an instant and cheap alternative for would-be parents. LifeForce will cut the need for expensive consultations to the bare minimum and give impartial advice on whether IVF is even necessary and if so where to get the right drugs at the cheapest price.’
