iFertracker- First Overnight Basal Body Temperature tracker to monitor the fertility

iFertracker™ by Raaing Medical is the first overnight fertility monitor that measures the core body temperature continuously throughout the night. It also simultaneously calculates and record the Basal Body Temperature (BBT) to predict the fertile window.

Usually, to measure the BBT a woman must use a special thermometer to record the temperature early morning each day at the same time before she gets out of bed. This task itself is tiresome and unreliable, sometimes a day is missed, or some error might occur.

iFertracker eliminates all this hassle and does all the work while the woman can sleep soundly throughout the night. It comes in beautifully packaged, with two CR2025 batteries (each battery is predicted to last for 45-60 days so the other is kept as spare one), a battery replacement tool, and 150 double-sided, single-use adhesive patches.

Setting up the iFertracker before the woman can start measuring the temperature is a very easy task. The woman has to simply download the free app to an Android or iOS cell phone and input all her menstrual cycle details along with her biometrics.

The device itself is very small and lightweight and has a very sleek, oblong design. It powers on automatically as soon as it comes in contact with body heat and a small blue light starts flashing indicating that Bluetooth capabilities are enabled. After once connected the iFertracker will recognize the user’s cell phone and will connect with it every time the app is opened.

To begin using, the woman places a new, double-sided adhesive patch on the oblong wearable thermometer and adhere it to the armpit. It is advisable to shave the area before putting on the device. The device turns on by itself and collects 20,000 data points in a single night, continuously monitoring the temperature as the user sleeps through the night. These are eventually uploaded to cloud and analyzed by an advanced algorithm to calculate the BBT.

The next morning, she removes the device and goes around with her morning routine. At her convenience, she opens the app on her smartphone and the device sync to it and starts downloading the temperature readings collected overnight.

In an event that internet connectivity is lost, or the user is very busy to open the app, the device has the ability to store data up to 10 days and it syncs with the app as soon as it is opened.

The iFertracker app displays the information collected in the form of graphs that are user-friendly and easy to understand. The graph color codes each phase of the cycle, including Menstruation, Follicular & Luteal phases, Fertile Window, and Ovulation day.

In addition to the display of last night’s BBT, the home screen informs the user about her fertility possibility and days until ovulation. The app also allows the user to input relevant event such as cervical mucus, mood, sexual activity, etc. The accuracy of prediction increase linearly with the duration of use as the tracker collects data over time and harness it to predict the fertility window and day of ovulation.

Besides getting pregnant this information can be used for natural family planning, hormone tracking during pregnancy or return to full fertility after delivery.

Raiing Medical also manufacture iThermonitor ™, the only wearable, wireless, clinically validated, and non-invasive core temperature thermometer.  It is worn similar to iFertracker and can be used in children and adults.

The iFertracker is available on Amazon or directly from Raiing Medical for $109. The adhesive patches are also available separately.
