YOU: Having A Baby! App Now Available on App Store
Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Michael Roizen and Sharecare launch an iPhone App that answers expectant mothers' questions about pregnancy
ATLANTA, July 29 -- America's Doctor - Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen, today announced the launch of their YOU: Having A Baby! App on the App Store. The app provides expectant mothers with advice and information about their pregnancy from conception through infancy and offers content from the best-selling book of the same name published by Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, in an easy-to-use Q&A format perfect for the iPhone and iPod touch.
In addition to content from Drs. Oz and Roizen, the app creates a central hub for answers to expectant mothers' pregnancy-related questions, offering personalized daily nutritional reminders for maintaining a healthy pregnancy based on their due date, images of fetal development phases, and the ability to add content such as doctors' appointments as well as important telephone numbers.
"Pregnancy is a time of great excitement, but it's also a teachable moment for women to focus on their overall health. This new app for iPhone and iPod touch will help, providing them with a repository for everything from images of their child's development to reminders about crucial steps for mothers to ensure the best health for their infants," said Dr. Mehmet Oz. "We're excited to be able to offer this convenient and insightful Q&A tool to expectant mothers (and probably some nervous fathers, too.)."
Developed by Sharecare.com, a new website organizing and answering all the questions of health, this is the first app to be based on one of the books in the "YOU" series by Drs. Oz and Roizen, published by Free Press. YOU: Having A Baby!, which was also written with Dr. Margaret L. McKenzie and other experts, delves into all of the pregnancy basics, from fertility to infant care, topic-by-topic and provides biological and physiological information about hormones, digestion, morning sickness, and other maternal-fetal interaction.
The YOU: Having A Baby! App is available for $1.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/.
