Nearly three years ago, tech entrepreneur Sam Thompson launched the free fertility app Glow with the mission of helping couples realize their parenting dreams. Glow aims to simplify womanhood through data, providing millions of women worldwide with more than just detailed menstrual and fertility calendars. Users can engage in community forums, sharing experiences and answering questions. Partners can also log their daily health metrics, including mood, medications, exercise, and various physical symptoms. In the latest update, version 5.2.0, users have the ability to upvote and downvote community posts, which helps them quickly find relevant content.
Glow Fertility App Recognized for Excellence
Having won the 2014 Webby Award for Best Health and Fitness App, Glow offers intelligent predictions for ovulation and menstrual cycles that improve over time. With its advanced data analysis capabilities, Glow provides users with personalized insights into reproductive health and fertility, along with medication reminders. Its daily health log enables tracking of over 40 health indicators, including basal body temperature, sleep patterns, stress levels, weight, and physical activity.
Local Fertility Physicians Endorse Glow App
Recently, Dr. Jenna Lee from the Springfield office shared in the Washington Post that the app helps women become more attuned to their bodies. Many physicians recommend Glow to their patients, noting that it enhances their understanding of fertility. Dr. Lee emphasizes that while the app is beneficial, it should complement, not replace, the crucial doctor-patient relationship.
Expert Insights from Local Physicians in Glow Community
Since 2014, Glow has collaborated with local fertility experts, and we’re excited to announce that Dr. Emily Chen from the Alexandria office will be actively participating in Glow’s “Ask the Doctor” discussions. Like Glow’s founders, Dr. Chen believes that community collaboration is key to educating the public about fertility.
In addition to expert participation, local fertility clinics provide general information and gather insights through the app, including user polls and announcements about upcoming events. They also offer guidance for patients navigating financial and insurance matters related to fertility treatments.
