TEMPERATURE BASED FERTILITY MONITORING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD
First Claim
1. A fertility monitoring system for monitoring fertility of a user, the system comprising:
- a clinical device, the clinical device comprising;
a body adapted to enter a natural orifice of a patient;
a first sensor located in the body, said first sensor adapted to measure temperature;
a second sensor located in the body, the second sensor adapted to make a second measurement of the user;
a transmitter, wherein the transmitter is configured to wirelessly send information from the clinical device; and
a processor disposed within the body and being operable to receive a temperature signal and a second measurement signal from the temperature sensor and the second sensor respectively and to calculate a temperature value and a second measurement value of the user based on said received temperature signal and second measurement signal respectively; and
a computerized device adapted to wirelessly receive information from the clinical device and operable to determine a level of fertility based on at least said temperature value and said second measurement value.

Abstract
A fertility monitoring apparatus measures body temperature and saliva or cervical fluid resistivity. The clinical device includes a sensor, processor and transmitter to wirelessly deliver information to a computerized device such as a smart phone, tablet, or laptop for further analysis and display. The computerized device is programmed with software to receive, analyze, display, and/or transmit the raw or processed information. The programmed computerized device computes fertility information of the user. A central fertility platform includes a programmed computing device, and a database of fertility information from multiple users. Input from user accounts are fed into the platform and stored in the database. Exemplary inputs include the user'"'"'s age, cycle length, diagnosis of fertility, reproductive health information. The platform both provides feedback to the user and learns from the data collected to improve upon or self-modify calculations using machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data mining approaches.

20. A fertility monitoring method comprising:
-
receiving first temperature data from a temperature sensor on a clinical device inserted into an orifice of a user; receiving first electrical resistivity data of the user from a resistivity sensor on the clinical device; receiving at least one patient data input from the user; sending the first temperature data and the first resistivity data to a processor; determining whether to request an ancillary input from the user; and computing automatically on the processor a level of fertility based on the first temperature data, the first electrical resistivity data, the ancillary input if requested and received, and the at least one patient input. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
