Natural Cycles – Health tech for women

As Serdar talked about in the first lesson, many successful startups begin by identifying a problem of their own and find a way to solve it. This is exactly the story of Natural Cycles, founded by Elina Berglund Scherwitzl and her husband Raoul. They were looking for a natural contraception but did not find any good alternatives on the market. So, with their backgrounds in Physics, they created an algorithm that uses the fluctuations of body temperature during the menstrual cycle to predict ovulation and fertility. The app Natural Cycles contains their algorithm and it is the first app to be certified as contraception.

I started using Natural Cycles two years ago, when I was looking for a hormone free contraception. I use a basal thermometer to measure my body temperature every morning before I get out of bed, enter my temperature in the app and let it calculate if the day is green (not fertile) or red (fertile). Natural Cycles update their software often to make it more user friendly and whenever they ask for feedback from their users I tell them what I think.

Overall, I think this is a brilliant product as it is easy to use, hormone free and a way for women to get to know their bodies. I would definitely recommend it to other women!
