Ferring Forges Collaboration with Digital Health Firm Woom
24 June 2019 - - Switzerland-based Ferring Pharmaceuticals and women's technology company Woom have forged a collaboration, which aims to improve and shorten the fertility journeys of the one in six couples who have difficulty conceiving, the companies said.
The Woom ovulation and fertility app, currently available in Spanish - with registered users across Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Peru - is able to analyse a woman's menstrual cycle, lifestyle factors and biometrics to help couples better understand their bodies to either help conceive naturally or go and see a specialist as soon as possible.
The app was developed in partnership with medical professionals.
As part of the partnership with Ferring, a test group of 500 Woom users from across Spain and/or Latin America will be assessed via a bespoke Fertility Programme.
The programme creates a personalised journey that will help couples know faster if they have any fertility challenges and connect potential parents with local fertility services, helping unlock the door to earlier fertility treatment intervention.
