Natural Cycles is committed to pioneering women’s wellness with research and passion, and leading the development of innovative fertility technology.  The app is powered by a proprietary algorithm that uses body temperature and other key fertility indicators to determine each user’s unique fertility status. Natural Cycles leverages its technology and algorithm to power the Cycle Tracking feature available on the Samsung Health app with the Galaxy Watch5 Series.

Samsung is entering the next era of digital wellness monitoring with its’ advanced sensor technology, including the groundbreaking BioActive Sensor. Furthermore, the new infrared temperature sensor enables users to get a more detailed overview by tracking skin temperature changes as well as their menstrual cycle. The temperature sensor uses infrared technology for more accurate readings, even if there is a temperature change in their surroundings or they move while sleeping. With all data encrypted and stored on the user’s device itself, it give users more control of their wellness data and better peace of mind.
