Abstract

Our primary objective was to develop a mobile application for monitoring the changes of menstrual cycle for clinical treatment planning. Participating woman can use the application called “Infertility Handling”, which will be soon available from Google Play Store for general public. This Android-based application provides basic biological and physiological information to women using the application at different stages of the cycle. They will receive useful help and advice concerning their health. The application provides also quick and convenient information gathering for short and long-term management of patient’s treatment and excellent tool for the personal medical monitoring. In this paper we present a short summary of the developed application.
