Webinar overview
Increased stress levels and other psychosocial issues make it harder for women to successfully become pregnant, and women that undergo IVF treatments present with higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem than their peers. Fertility clinics struggle to provide comprehensive psychosocial support to patients because of a lack of time and sufficient resources. To prevent, detect and treat mental health issues and increase IVF success rates, clinics need an effective tool for providing around-the-clock psychosocial support to patients.
Aura transforms the IVF experience by supporting fertility clinics to provide pioneering psychosocial care.
Topics covered:
- Why we need better whole-patient support.
- What does best-in-class psychosocial fertility care look like.
- How to humanise your patient experience.
