First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether the Flo app, when used with an Apple Watch that measures wrist temperature overnight, can help women prevent pregnancy without hormones or devices. About 3,800 women in the US will use the app as their only birth control for up to 13 cycles. The app tells them which days they are fertile and should use protection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Flo Digital Contraceptive app (software as a medical device) used with an Apple Watch for temperature tracking

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a hormone-free, non-invasive contraceptive option that helps women prevent pregnancy using only their smartphone and a smartwatch.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm study with no comparison group, and effectiveness depends on consistent daily use. The app may not work as well for women with irregular cycles or those who forget to wear the watch.
