Natural cycles as digital contraception: evidence, effectiveness, and clinical use
Contraceptive preferences have shifted in recent years, with increasing demand for effective non-hormonal options. Natural Cycles is the world’s first FDA-cleared and CE-marked digital contraceptive, distinguishing it from traditional fertility awareness methods. This session will review the clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness and distinction between commonly used period tracking apps. Healthcare providers will gain practical guidance on appropriate patient selection, including who the method is and is not suitable for, and tips for how to counsel patients effectively in clinical practice.
Attendees of this session will:
- Understand the clinical evidence behind the first and only FDA-cleared and CE-marked digital contraceptive app.
- Gain practical guidance on counselling and supporting patients considering digital contraception, including identifying who it is most suitable for.
- Distinguish between regulated digital contraception and period tracking apps.
