Getting pregnant or avoiding it may become easier than you’d think with a new gadget announced Tuesday from Boulder’s , which already offers to help women chart their fertility.
looks like a lighter but inside there is all sorts of technology going on. There’s a thermometer, which is at recording temperatures because it uses , for a fast, precise measurement. A patent-pending tip allows for faster heat transfer from under the tongue to sensor. Plus, there’s Bluetooth so Wink syncs with the Kindara app on a user’s smartphone.
And if you are terrible at remembering when to take your temperature (since a woman’s is a key fertility indicator), the Wink even subtly vibrates as a gentle reminder.
According to Kindara, the app has helped over 25,000 women get pregnant and 500,000 women avoid pregnancy. Users are reporting 100 pregnancies a day.
Kindara is taking preorders on Wink for $79. It ships in Spring 2015.
Kindara graduated from the back in 2012. It currently employs 8 people, including 6 in Boulder.
