  • Tracking requires the child to carry a phone running the paired child app

Ovia Parenting

  • Now operating as Ovia Health by Labcorp rather than independently, and the old ovuline.com address no longer resolves
  • Pricing is not published, since it is sold to employers and plans rather than to parents
