Natural Cycles’ innovative fertility technology uses body temperature and other key fertility indicators to determine a user’s unique fertility status. Utilizing its technology and algorithm to power the Cycle Tracking feature Health app, the Galaxy Watch5 series will prove to be greatly useful for charting menstrual cycles.

The skin temperature-based cycle tracking capabilities will be available through the Samsung Health app on the Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro within the second quarter in 32 markets. This is another demonstration of Samsung’s open collaboration philosophy with other industry leaders to create better health experiences, states Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics.
