Daysy® has been developed as a medical device to track your fertility days, helping understand menstrual cycles and ovulation days...
Daysy was created by Valley Electronics AG, which uses non-invasive medical technology to make people aware of their fertility status safely. This was done to aid individuals to understand better their bodies concerning fertility and their cycles.
Daysy uses its refined tracking method to calculate fertile days, and it can predict ovulation periods. By using data undisputed by the user, such as basal body temperature and days of menstruation, the device is better able to gauge fertility. A temperature sensor gathers the data that is then compiled and compared to a database of five million menstrual cycles. The intuitive tracker eliminates potential errors. The sensor in question is calibrated to the device and therefore has fewer inaccuracies. Red and green lights indicate possible fertile and non-fertile days, giving the user an estimate of the cycle and fertility status. The accuracy of Daysy is over 99% in calculating the fertility and nonfertility days.
This device can be used with an app to inform users of their cycles and body. This system expresses how to modify lifestyle activities toward wellness through a natural, hormone-free route. It can aid in the journey to conceive by stating the optimal fertile days within a cycle and predicting ovulation days. It works to decrease the user’s stress when it comes to worrying about pregnancy by calculating the information necessary to conceive.
The device uses a self-learning algorithm to conclude when the user is in their fertility days, thus reducing the area for potential errors. It considers facts such as stress or travel when observing potential impacts on the cycle or delayed ovulation. Backed by a database of five million menstrual cycles and the experience of 500,000 users, the algorithm can better function on a personalized basis.
