growzen AR

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.

The first-time user launches app, they will go through an “on-boarding” process. First user will be given the option to select their preferred language. After language is selected, user will need to read through the Terms and Conditions and accept them to move forward. Then there are a series of cards which give a brief explanation of what the app is about. That is followed by a message to scan their easypod®; user must scan (or manually enter) barcode on the back of their easypod® to gain access to all the content. Scanning ensures those who download the app are current patients, without a valid barcode app content is restricted.
