In a statement, Mark Cesal, who is the marketing director at HealthLynked, said: "I have been involved with Oohvie from its inception and I am excited to see its growth in such a short time. Users have really taken to the platform we have developed to help women track their menstrual health, provide important reminders and create a sense of community." "We have many exciting new services we are planning to launch to our Oohvie users, including our telemedicine service, DocLynk. Our goal is to make Oohvie a top-selling app for women in the near future," he added. Oohvie version 2.0 includes a new, simplified home screen, which combines the log periods and symptoms functionality with an added "today" button, so users can quickly return to the current date when swiping through the days. All-new symptom and flow icons on the bottom of the screen make it easy to review feelings and symptoms. Meanwhile, the interface is re-imagined, so a user's key information is at the top of the page. Users can quickly record spotting and enter weight and sleep data. “We have added menstrual flow and birth control pills to the symptoms page, allowing for more detailed information that is shared to the user's HealthLynked Profile,” said the company. Significantly, in-app messaging allows users to see health reminders such as when to take their birth control pills or record symptoms. “Users are also reminded about important medical updates relevant to their medical history and interest,” said the company. As a result, new in-app notifications make it easier to see and respond to new chat messages and user activity in the Oohvie community forums.
