For professionals
YOUR PATIENTS TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF THEIR FERTILITY
The Ayola Ring, the Personal Fertility Sensor Personal Fertility System takes trying to conceive to a new level by using continuous core body temperature (CCBT) to predict the fertile window.CCBT allows for the identification of patterns associated with temporal rhythms that correlate with the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone.
How Ayola Ring, your Personal Fertility Sensor Can Help You and Your Patients
EFFORTLESS
The Ayola Ring, your Personal Fertility Sensor Sensor is simple to use compared to conventional devices and methods that rely on high patient compliance and consistency for accuracy. In human use studies, women found Ayola Ring, your Personal Fertility Sensor simple to insert and easy to use.
PRECISE
CCBT is a highly reliable way to track temperature patterns and reflects circadian rhythm patterns.These patterns provide fertility indications for predicting ovulation and is most accurate with 24/7 CCBT monitoring (Coyne). Potential for user error is significantly reduced by automated data collection by the Ayola Ring, your Personal Fertility Sensor and by the wireless delivery method to the Ayola App.
EMPOWERING
No charting, no confusion, and no guessing. The Ayola Ring, your Personal Fertility Sensor Sensor can be left in place, and all measurements are taken and recorded automatically. Your patients will be empowered with the confidence of knowing what is happening with their bodies in real-time.
Use it well every month

Fertility awareness
In a study conducted by Zineman et al. only 55% of estimated ovulation days fell within the real
time of fertile window; only 27% on days of peak fertility
Zinaman et al., prospective cohort study
Comparison of women’s estimated day of ovulation with their actual ovulation day
Only 55% of estimated ovulation days fell within the volunteers’ fertile window; only 27% on days of peak fertility.
Conclusion: Women trying to conceive may benefit from using a prospective method to identify the fertile
phase, also called the fertile window.

Why is CCBT Better?
Since skin temperature can be affected by external factors and peripheral thermometers do not provide the same level of sensitivity or accuracy, core body temperature is the most reliable way to track temperature patterns (Cagnacci 1997). By utilizing continuous CBT, Ayola Ring, your Personal Fertility Sensor bypasses these limitations and provides accurate and precise predictions of ovulation.
“Core body temperature is directly shaped by changes in hormones across the day. Using continuous core body temperature is almost like getting a blood draw every five minutes. It’s a wealth of information about a woman’s changing fertility. Having health-trained AI to find subtle patterns is beyond anything possible today is very exciting.”
Dr. Benjamin Smarr, NIH Research Scientist at UC Berkeley
“Women should be advised that the timing of their fertile window can be highly unpredictable, even if their cycles are usually regular.”
British Medical Journal
“Core body temperature is directly shaped by changes in hormones across the day. Having health-trained algorithms to fund subtle patterns beyond anything possible today is very exciting.”
Dr. Benjamin Smarr, NIH Research Scientist at UC Berkeley
“Peak fertility is found to be the 2-3 days prior to ovulation, so using the basal temperature shift after ovulation is likely too late when trying to conceive.”
American Society for Reproductive Medicine
“Identifying the fertile windiw is a key element to conception. The fertile window can occur much earlier or later in the cycle than the clinical quidelines may suggest.”

Q&A for Professionals
For which patients is the Ayola the right choice?
Patients who are trying to conceive, and are comfortable using intravaginal products are candidates for Ayola. For a complete list of contraindications, please visit: www.ayolaring.com
When should patients start using the Ayola Sensor?
To ensure an accurate fertile window prediction, patients should insert the Ayola Sensor within 24 hours after the end of their period; the Ayola is not effective if it is first inserted outside of this time frame. The Ayola Sensor should not be used during menstruation or for more than 29 consecutive days without removal and cleaning. You don’t need to remove the Senzor during intercourse.Is the Ayola Sensor safe?
Is the Ayola Sensor safe?
Ayola uses Bluetooth® to transmit temperature data to the mobile app. Ayola’s Bluetooth is safe because it uses very low power and is on less than 10 seconds per hour. Ayola’s Bluetooth European regulations that sets limits for radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy that are 50 times lower than scientific findings recommend.
Does the Ayola require a prescription?
Ayola is qualified CE marked medical device, category II/B which does not need prescription.*
How do my patients get Ayola?
Patients can order Ayola online at www.forhercare.com, insert the Ayola Sensor at home, and pair with their smart device. Patients will be instructed to speak with you about any side effects they experience and report any adverse events to customer support. Patients purchase the Ayola System, including the sensor and a choice of a one-month, three- month or six-month subscription to the app. The subscription may be renewed after the initial purchase.
