growzen AR app for iPhone and iPad

Growzen™ AR is an external/public use mobile application which is a digitized version of the easypod® s Instructions For Use. It provides instructions and details on how to properly administer treatment using the easypod® device.

Growzen™ AR serves as a tool for patients to get an in depth look at the steps of the injection process using AR technology for an immersive learning experience to address and reduce issues caused by user error. The app also helps healthcare providers to address questions patients or caregivers may have after in-person training and to provide support in between office visits.
