Here at Ava, we take data—especially fertility and pregnancy data—very seriously. Our team is led by premier data scientists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and reproductive endocrinologists, many of whom hold PhDs and decades of experience in their respective fields. So, when you read content on AvaWorld, you can trust that it’s backed by science and has been thoroughly researched and vetted by our experts.
The Ava 2.0—a clinically proven cycle and fertility tracking bracelet—comes with a sleeker strap, updated sensor pod optimized for better performance and comfort, and additional features like a vibrating alarm.
Ava uses multiple physiological parameters including temperature, resting pulse rate, and breathing rate, to track the cycle. While you’re sleeping, Ava’s sensors collect data on different key physiological parameters. Ava’s algorithm then detects your fertile window, physiological stress level, sleep quality, and more.
Ava is not a contraceptive and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy.
