Samsung Electronics and Natural Cycles have announced a partnership to bring advanced temperature-based menstrual cycle tracking capabilities to the Galaxy Watch5 series. This latest partnership will ‘give users more detailed insight into their menstrual cycle’.
This is the first time Natural Cycles’ algorithm has been adapted for a smartwatch.
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 gives users more control of their health data, the company said in a news release.
“Consumers can now easily track their menstrual cycle right from their wrist, combining Natural Cycles’ innovative fertility technology with Samsung’s superior temperature sensor to provide a more holistic understanding of their health and well-being,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics.
The new skin temperature-based cycle tracking capabilities will be available through the Samsung Health app on the Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro within the second quarter in 32 markets, in Europe, North America and Asia, including the US.
