Follow on Google News | New Thyroid Tracker App, ThyForLife, Launched on Google Play StoreHealth Tracking App Allows Users to Keep Track of Their Thyroid Conditions
By: ThyForLife According to the American Thyroid Association, it is estimated that over 20 million Americans suffer from some form of thyroid disease. Unfortunately, 60% of people with this condition don't know that they have it. Thyroid disease occurs when the thyroid gland, in charge of regulating the body's metabolism, produces hormones above or below optimal levels. This can lead to fatigue, depression, weight gain or sleep deprivation. ThyForLife helps counteract these problems by allowing all of the necessary tracking to be done in one place as well as providing thyroid medication reminders. Natalia Lumen, Founder and CEO of ThyForLife, found out that she had thyroid cancer in 2017 during a regular wellness check. "Three years ago I was really busy building my career as a management consultant at Bain & Company and thyroid cancer has caught me by complete surprise, it came out of nowhere. Being on the operating table twice was a lot to deal with, but what came next was even more daunting". After struggling to keep track of numerous daily medications and monthly blood test results, Natalia decided to create an app to help herself and other thyroid patients have all of this information on their mobile device. In the near future, ThyForLife is planning on adding additional functions so users will be able to connect with other members in the thyroid community and set reminders for doctor appointments. "Together with 50 of our beta users, we created a core solution to keep track of the essentials, such as bloodwork, medication and weight. Our users have told us how important it was for them to be able to normalize bloodwork results from different labs on a single scale, so we built this solution for them as well," said Natalia.
