About PriyaRing 

PriyaRing is an ovulation predictor vaginal ring. The ring measures core temperature of a woman every 6 minutes and sends the data directly through wireless connection to a smart device every two hours. The data is sent to the cloud where it is stored and analyzed based on an proprietary Prima-Temp algorithm. The ring does not contain any active ingredient but a temperature measurement sensor. The device detects the subtle changes in temperature prior to ovulation and sends a notification to the smart device. This allows for easy handling, continuous data flow and an aid in conception.
