| Ava Bracelet |
Ava is the
first fertility tracking device that is worn in the nighttime like a bracelet around wrist. It is accurate
to narrow the fertility window to 5.3 days in a menstrual cycle .
It
works by monitoring 9 physiological parameters that are in relation with the changing reproductive hormone levels. The data
is gathered through night and it is fed into an algorithm. It does not rely on
patient to input the data.
It measures pulse
rate, breathing rate, heart rate variability, sleep duration and sleep phases,
movement, skin temperature, heat loss, perfusion, and bio impedance.
Sync the
data in the morning with the Ava app displays the information through several
graphs along with a timeline of the cycle, which depicts the fertile window
with 89% accuracy.
It saves the
patient from taking the Basal Body Temperature (BBT), checking the quality of
cervical mucus or doing the urine test for ovulation.
The accuracy
improves with longer period of wearing the bracelet.
It is FDA registered and CE approved,
based on a yearlong study at the University Hospital of Zurich led by Prof. Dr.
Brigitte Leeners, who is known as an expert of mathematical modeling of
menstrual cycles.
Ava is specially indicated in patients
who have irregular cycles, couples who want to have timed intercourse and
patients taking treatment for anovulatory infertility.
If you get pregnant, the Ava bracelet
will track you other parameters like sleep quality, resting heart rate, and
stress levels.
