Fertility Mobile Phone Patent Filed By Samsung
We have already tackled about a fertility mobile phone. Now one of the most recent piece of news that I have come across is that Samsung is now trying to get a patent for such a mobile phone.
This Samsung fertility mobile gadget would not only allow you to send SMS or take calls or maybe even take pictures. According to the company, this one would be able to take the basal body temperature of a woman and it would do the measurements and inform the user when she would be fertile.
Of course you may want to understand a little on how the gadget could tell if a woman is fertile or not. Here’s a little piece of Samsung’s documentation as published by IntoMobile:
…when the woman’s menstruation period is set between 28 to 30 days, the days may be divided into a low temperature period and a high temperature period, based on the ovulation day. In this instance, the low temperature day indicates around about 14 days from a first day of menstruation to the ovulation day. During the low temperature period, the woman’s temperature falls and the endometrium gets thicker due to acts of ovarian follicle hormones to be ready to receive a fertilized egg. A body temperature may significantly fall for a certain period before changing from the low temperature period to the high temperature period. The woman ovulates at any time between the certain period and two or three days before the high temperature period. The ovarian follicle after the ovulation becomes corpus luteum and LH is produced, which makes the endometrium softer so that an egg may be easily implanted. During this period, the body temperature rises… the fertile period may correspond to 7 days before the ovulation day and 4 days after the ovulation day.
Hmmm… Mighty interesting.
