Wonder App for Kyleena®
The core purpose of the app is to act as a digital buddy to a first-time Kyleena® user who may have many questions about life with a hormonal coil.
- It provides patients with accurate and reliable information in a user-friendly way which they can access through their phone or tablet.
- The app provides support and information on Kyleena® usage prior to the placement of the coil and during the first 3-6 months after the placement: the app takes into consideration the placement date, if provided, and tailors content that should be relevant and helpful to the user.
- The inclusion of the mood and bleed trackers will enable patients to record information, which then can be used to have meaningful conversations with you, as their healthcare professional.
- The app has an FAQ section which should help address any additional questions a patient may have.
