Technology

Ava is an innovative technology company advancing women’s reproductive health.

Clinical science

Ava’s claims are backed by rigorous clinical trials. The results are published in peer-reviewed medical journals and contribute to the scientific body of knowledge around female reproductive health.

Data science

Our data science team draws on results from clinical trials along with the more than 3.5-million cycles recorded by our users to continually refine Ava’s machine-learning algorithms.

Technology

Advanced hardware and software interact seamlessly, translating the data recorded by Ava’s wearable sensor bracelet to its comprehensive in-app user interface.

Clinical science

Developing clinically tested results, published in peer-reviewed journals.

Since the launch of “The Pill” in the 1960s, there have been few major advancements in the field of women’s health. As a company, we’re working to fill that gap. Our clinical research team is made up of experts in the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive endocrinology. Their mission is to expand the body of knowledge around female health and to apply those learnings to create innovative products that improve women’s lives.

Current research

Ava Fertility has been shown in clinical studies to detect the fertile window in real time. Results are published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Medical Internet Research and confirm changes to five physiological signals of fertility throughout the menstrual cycle. Ava Fertility tracks all five.

WOMEN'S HEALTH

Ava’s clinical science team is actively engaged in research related to women’s healthcare across their entire reproductive lifetime, including the topics of:

Menstrual cycle
Fertility
Pregnancy
Contraception
Menopause

COVID-19

Data science

Revealing actionable, accurate data unique to every user.

Ava’s sensor bracelet collects data 25 times per second while the user sleeps. This information is then analyzed to pinpoint her fertile window in real time using multiple algorithms.

Our team of data scientists develop the advanced algorithms that drive Ava’s technology, processing the data collected from our users and applying machine-learning algorithms to provide the most accurate results for the broadest range of women’s cycles.

Data security

Fully anonymized user information.

Ava abides by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the highest security standard in both the European Union and the United States, and employs region-specific servers for data storage through Amazon Web Services (AWS). All user data is stored anonymously with the individual’s user ID, registration info, and other personally identifiable information (PII) stored separately.

Technology

Sensor technology worn while sleeping to detect a woman’s fertile window in real time.

Ava is the first wearable device designed to track, visualize, and understand the menstrual cycle. The Ava bracelet sensors record physiological parameters that correlate with fluctuations in reproductive hormones. The parameters tracked include pulse rate, breathing rate, sleep, heart rate variability, and temperature. Once synced with the corresponding app, this data, along with the user’s fertility status, is displayed in real time.
