Abstract

Lono API is the back end API for Lono, a birth control tool for women who follow the fertility awareness method (natural birth control). A user logging in for the first time is prompted to submit the profile form, so the app can start tracking their high risk and low risk days. Once their profile information has been logged, a user can start tracking their daily basal body temperature along with any symptoms they might be having that day. After filling out today's entry, a user can then view whether today is a high risk day or not. The user can also see their historical data through a color coded calendar, or she can view reports that will display her temperature over the past 7 or 30 days.

Lono should be used consecutively for 3 months for most accurate predictions.
