MENSTRUAL CYCLE TRACKING
Health information for a woman can be used to predict timing of events related to the woman's menstrual cycle. If available, historical cycle information for a woman can be used to predict upcoming cycle events, such as the start and stop of menstruation. To improve the accuracy of those predictions, one or more health metrics are monitored for the woman that can be correlated with the menstrual cycle. These can include, for example, the resting heart rate (RHR), blood oxygen concentration (SpO.sub.2) level, and hemoglobin concentration, among other such options. The metrics are monitored over time to determine patterns that can be correlated with menstrual cycle. This information can then be used to update the predictive model, as well as to update individual event predictions. Information about the predictions, and updates to the predictions, can be surfaced accordingly.
System and method for intrauterine insemination
A kit and method for intrauterine insemination is provided. The steps of the method include self-monitoring of a menstrual cycle of a patient by said patient, making an abrasion on the endometrial lining of a uterus of the patient following menstruation by the patient, predicting timing of ovulation by using an ovulation monitoring system or inducing ovulation; preparing sperm for insemination during ovulation by the patient, guiding an intrauterine insemination catheter accompanied by a cervical shield into the patient, depositing a semen sample into the uterine cavity or cervical canal, removing the catheter from the body of the patient while using a holding tool to hold the cervical shield in place at the entrance to the uterine cavity, and leaving the cervical shield in place for a predetermined time period.
Devices capable of fluid sample concentration for extended sensing of analytes
The disclosed invention provides a fluid sensing device and method capable of collecting a fluid sample, concentrating the sample with respect to one or more target analytes, and measuring the target analyte(s) in the concentrated sample. The invention is also capable of determining the change in molarity of the fluid sample with respect to the target analyte(s), as the sample is concentrated by the device. The invention further includes a method for using a fluid sensing device to concentrate a fluid sample with respect to one or more target analytes. The disclosed method further includes the ability to correlate the measured target analyte concentration to a physiological condition of a device wearer, or of a fluid source.
Body fluid testing device having improved illumination
A body fluid testing device having an improved illumination, includes: a test unit including: a sample part having a sheet portion, with body fluid of a user applied onto a first surface thereof; an illumination part having a light source for providing light to the sample part; a battery for supplying power to the illumination part; and a casing receiving a lens group for magnifying the body fluid applied onto the sheet portion; and a user terminal configured such that a camera takes an image of the sample part magnified by the lens group, prior to analyzing the image by the user terminal.
Fertility kits with sterile syringes and collection jars, method of sterilization and use
A sterile Intracervical Insemination (ICI) fertility kit, method of sterilization, and method of use for performing self-insemination. Each sterile kit comprises: up to three sets of individually wrapped sterile, disposable, syringes and semen collection jars; printed instructions; and a QR code. The collection jar comprises a snap-on lid, and an inner surface with seamless edges to prevent semen residue. The syringes and jars are sealed in plastic wraps permeable to air and gas, and impermeable to pathogens; and are sterilized via gamma radiation or ethylene oxide. Fresh or frozen, unwashed or washed, semen is deposited into the jar, pulled into the syringe, and administered cervically during a user's maximum monthly level of luteinizing hormone. The syringe distal end is designed to push all semen out of the syringe then plug the end closed, while preventing semen residue from collecting within the syringe. Large circular syringe handles facilitate stable handling.
ACTIVATION OF HOME APPLIANCE IN RESPONSE TO HOMEOWNER SLEEP STATE
Apparatus and methods are described including using a sensor to monitor a sleeping subject and generate a signal in response to the monitoring. A noise control device is controlled in response to the signal.
Menstrual Cycle Tracking Using Temperature Measurements
Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for tracking menstrual cycles of a user. Embodiments can include obtaining a first set of temperature data at an electronic device, and in response to the first set of temperature data satisfying a first criteria, determining a first probability that ovulation occurred during a first time period using the first set of temperature data. In response to the first probability meeting a second criteria, embodiments can include determining a second set of probabilities comprising a probability that ovulation occurred for each day of a first set of days within the first time period. An estimated ovulation date can be determined using the second set of probabilities, and an electronic device can display an output indicating the estimated ovulation date.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR INTEGRATING MENSTRUAL CYCLE DATA AND PROVIDING CUSTOMIZED FEMININE WELLNESS INFORMATION
A method for enabling users to input menstrual cycle data and receive customized wellness information, including streaming workouts, nutrition profiles, recipes, and physiological data such as science-based horoscope-like insights into the user's emotions, tailored to a user's expected physiology within a menstrual cycle phase is provided. The method includes receiving, from a device, menstrual cycle data for a user, wherein the menstrual cycle data includes one or more of a first date of the user's last menstrual cycle, a cycle length of the user's menstrual cycle and/or a length of the user's period, determining menstrual cycle phase data using the menstrual cycle data, determining feminine wellness information using the menstrual cycle phase data, wherein the feminine wellness information includes personalized interactive content, and transmitting, to the device, the menstrual cycle phase data and the feminine wellness information including the personalized interactive content.
COACHING BASED ON REPRODUCTIVE PHASES
Physiological metrics such as respiratory rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, temperature, and the like can be measured over time for a user and correlated to reproductive phases. By determining the chronological phase in a hormonal cycle or the like, automated recommendations for sleep, diet, exercise and the like can be provided in a phase-coordinated manner.
TECHNIQUES FOR IDENTIFYING POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME AND ENDOMETRIOSIS FROM WEARABLE-BASED PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA
Methods, systems, and devices for identifying irregular cycles, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis based on wearable-based physiological data are described. A system may be configured to receive physiological data associated with a user collected via a wearable device, the physiological data collected throughout at least a portion of a menstrual cycle for the user. The system may be configured to determine a time series of a plurality of physiological measurements based on the physiological data, and identify that the physiological measurements deviate from a baseline measurements associated with the user, other users, or both. The system may then identify one or more risk metrics associated with relative probabilities that the user is experiencing PCOS, endometriosis, or both, and may generate a message for display on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a user device that indicates information associated with the one or more risk metrics.
