It’s a terrific use of technology — iPhone users can now monitor their fertility treatments.

Though not being used widely right now, Australian scientists plan to have couples (and/or patients) monitor their IVF treatmentsusing their iPhones and/or Blackberries.  This will enable the Australian fertility specialists to help the patients make sure they are keeping up with their injections, scans, blood tests, etc.

The original trial of this program was tried by 17 persons undergoing fertility treatments and was met with positive feedback. 

No doubt it will soon be used in the United States as well, though likely on a somewhat limited basis at first. 

It gives even more credence to the notion that “there’s an app for that”!
