A key trend in this space is the rise of digital contraceptive solutions, including smartphone apps that use algorithms to track fertility signs and predict peak fertility days, helping users avoid unprotected intercourse. Leading this innovation is the Natural Cycles app, which in 2018 became the first FDA-approved digital birth control app. Backed by a study involving over 15,000 women and 180,000 menstrual cycles, it boasts a 93% effectiveness rate, comparable to traditional contraceptive pills.
Following this, Clue became the second FDA-cleared contraceptive app in March 2021. Additionally, companies like Pexxi, founded in 2018, are leveraging personalized data from online questionnaires and hormone test kits to recommend the most suitable oral contraceptives for individual users. Pexxi also provides ongoing monitoring to track side effects and suggest alternative options if needed.
These advancements highlight how digital fertility solutions are transforming family planning, offering non-hormonal, non-invasive, and data-driven alternatives to conventional contraceptive methods.
