• Natural birth control meets wearable tech.

    Join the FabVue clinical trial using just your phone and a ring.

    • You could receive an Oura Ring at no cost and up to $405 in compensation
    • 100% virtual — no clinic visits required
    • Help advance hormone-free options for reproductive health
  • BACKGROUND

    Join a clinical research study that evaluates a new natural birth control method using a mobile app that calculates your daily pregnancy risk by measuring your biometrics (i.e., temperature) with a wearable device (Oura Ring). This birth control method is called fertility awareness based contraception and is completely hormone free!

    This research will follow participants over a 12-month period. Women will be guided to use the wearable ring and an app that tracks temperature, sleep, and other biometrics to understand their cycle. Women will be asked to check the study app each morning to receive their individualized daily contraceptive guidance, and will log information about their menstrual cycle and sexual activity.

    The primary goal of this research is to understand how wearable fertility awareness based technology may support natural contraceptive choices. All study activities are conducted remotely, and the study is being conducted under IRB oversight.

    This clinical research study is evaluating a mobile application, called FabVue, which uses a fertility awareness based algorithm to help women understand their daily risk of pregnancy. The study will assess how effective the app is at helping users avoid pregnancy when used as directed over the course of one year.

    WHAT’S INVOLVED

    If eligible and enrolled, you will be asked to:

    • Wear a ring device (provided by the study)
    • Use the FabVue mobile app daily to view your individual pregnancy risk (“low” or “high”)
    • Log your menstrual cycle and sexual activity in the app
    • Complete periodic surveys over 12 months
    • Use the guidance in the app as your primary birth control method
  • Take 3 minutes to see if you qualify!

  • For the duration of this study (1 year) are you willing to stop using your personal Oura account and ring and instead ONLY use the study specific Oura account, ring, and App we provide you?

    Note: Data from your personal account will not carry over to your study account. At the end of the study, your study account will be retired. There is no guarantee that data from your study account can be merged with your personal account.

    • Frequently Asked Questions 
    • 1. What is this study about?

      This clinical research study is evaluating a mobile application, called FabVue, which uses a fertility awareness based algorithm to help women understand their daily risk of pregnancy. The study will assess how effective the app is at helping users avoid pregnancy when used as directed over the course of one year.

      2. Is this a birth control product that is already approved?

      No. FabVue is an investigational digital health tool. It is being tested in this study and is not yet approved for use as a contraceptive product. This clinical trial is designed to collect safety and effectiveness data.

      3. What is involved if I participate in the study?

      If eligible and enrolled, you will be asked to:

      • Wear a ring device (provided by the study)
      • Use the FabVue mobile app daily to view your individual pregnancy risk (“low” or “high”)
      • Log your menstrual cycle and sexual activity in the app
      • Complete periodic surveys over 12 months
      • Use the guidance in the app as your primary birth control method

      4. What kind of birth control is this?

      The FabVue app uses fertility awareness which means it helps you understand when you're more or less likely to get pregnant, based on your personal cycle and data from the smart ring. On “high risk” days, backup contraception will be recommended.

      5. Is the ring a form of birth control?

      No, the ring (a wearable device) is used to collect biometric data, which helps inform the app’s algorithm. It is not a contraceptive device on its own.

      6. What happens if I become pregnant during the study?

      If you become pregnant during the study, you will no longer participate in study activities but may be asked to complete an exit survey. Your safety and well-being remain our top priority.

      7. Will I be compensated?

      Yes. Participants who complete study requirements may receive compensation of up to $405 over the course of the study.

      8. Can I still participate if I’ve used hormonal birth control in the past?

      You may participate as long as you are not currently using or have not used any hormonal contraception (including pills, implants, patches, IUDs, etc.) within the past 3 months.

      9. Is the study entirely virtual?

      Yes. This is a decentralized clinical trial, meaning all activities can be completed from home using your smartphone and the study app.

      10. Who is eligible to participate?

      You may be eligible if you:

      • Are assigned female at birth
      • Are 18–45 years old
