Natural Cycles
The first FDA cleared birth control app.
Overview
Natural Cycles is a digital health company that has developed the world's first app to be cleared by the FDA in the U.S. and certified in Europe as a form of contraception. Users measure their basal body temperature each morning and log it in the app. The app's algorithm then analyzes the data to identify a user's daily fertility status, providing 'green days' (not fertile) and 'red days' (use protection). It can also be used in a 'Plan a Pregnancy' mode.
