Easy Healthcare's Premom App Settles $750K Class Action Lawsuit

Premom app, owned by Easy Healthcare, recently settled a class action lawsuit for $750,000. Premom gained popularity as a fertility tracking app, aiming to assist users in monitoring their menstrual cycles, ovulation, and fertility windows. As more users turned to digital solutions for family planning, Premom's user base expanded rapidly.

Allegations and Legal Proceedings

Without user consent, according to the complaint, the Premom app exchanged device and personal data with third parties. Customers were reportedly forced to purchase brand-new devices or routers in order to protect their private information because the app revealed advertising IDs, router IDs, serial numbers, and other device data.

Lessons for Health-Tech Developers

The Premom settlement serves as a wake-up call for developers in the health-tech space. As the popularity of health monitoring apps continues to grow, developers must prioritize accuracy, transparency, and user education to build and maintain trust among their user base.

Moving Forward

Easy Healthcare has committed to addressing the concerns raised by users and improving the accuracy of the Premom app. The settlement underscores the need for ongoing vigilance in the digital health space and encourages users to approach health-related apps with a critical eye.

Conclusion

The $750,000 class action settlement involving Easy Healthcare's Premom app serves as a reminder of the evolving relationship between technology and health. Class members who, because of privacy concerns, bought a replacement smartphone or router are eligible to receive a cash payout of up to $30 under the terms of the settlement. If more claims are submitted, the actual payouts can be less, but they won't be more than $30.
