BUTTONS (BOTTOM LEFT) Broad electrometric
applicability of the Ovulona There is solid
precedent for observing differences between
electrometric signatures of normal healthy
cervical tissues (epithelia) and those of
aberrant tissues (e.g. pre-cancerous CIN
epithelia) as significant as those obtained from
analyzing Pap smear tests. The differences are
due to changes in the external and internal
structure of the cervical tissue cells. The same
holds for other physiological changes in the
tissues - including folliculogenesis and
pregnancy. Note these key words in the titles of
randomly selected 3 publications 1. impedance of
the cervix in non-pregnant and pregnant women 2.
cervical impedance in the prediction of the
course and outcome of labor 3. uterine and
cervical electromyography in monitoring pregnant
patients Conclusion of publication 3 The
potential benefits include a reduction in the
rate of preterm birth, improved maternal and
perinatal outcome, better monitoring of
treatment
3What does Ovulona do?
It tracks folliculogenesis in vivo
(FIV)
Folliculogenesis is central to womens health,
well-being, and lifestyle.

This is not a real prototype. Real details are
not shown. The planned internally worn telemetric
cervical ring is not shown either.
4 What Is Folliculogenesis?
The biological foundation of a womans well-being.
5Detecting the 3-day fertile window for getting
pregnant
What FIV does for women and for family planning
6 Different peak sizes show the different speed of
maturation of the egg in different menstrual
cycles (maturation of dominant follicle)
Unprecedented wealth of information inherent in
the signature FIV cyclic profile
These are follicular waves preparing for the next
cycle. They relate to how fast the woman
approaches menopause. They disappear upon
conception.
Ovulation is
detected as estrogen dominance switches to
progesterone dominance
This is the ovarian I am ready signal

8Transformational Technology
MOSTLY GIRLS BORN 69
MOSTLY BOYS BORN 77
- Unprecedented accuracy
- Clear diagnostic indications no guessing
- Easy to use
- Automatically detects monitors pregnancy,
computes Expected Delivery Date - Automatically screens for cervical cancer, STDs
- Requires no chemical work, no graphing, no
interpretation of data by the user - Provides folliculogenesis profile history data to
healthcare system
9Absence of the peaks anticipates failure to
ovulate. Ovulona anticipates LPD Luteal Phase
Defect, which often causes failure to conceive by
healthy women
Ovulonas diagnostic power will save healthcare
costs
