Cycle Technologies has worked to provide women with contraceptive options that meet their needs. Specifically to develop, test, and distribute effective fertility awarenessbased family planning options. Since our commitment in mid-2017, we have:
- Distributed free app-based contraceptive solutions to approximately 2 million women. Completed a comprehensive contraceptive efficacy study conducted by researchers at Georgetown University's Institute for Reproductive Health on the DOT app. The study, which was published in "The European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care" found DOT to be highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Completed studies in eight countries on how app-based options such as DOT and CycleBeads apps address unmet contraceptive need finding that they meet women's need for non-hormonal, easily accessible contraception and can be distributed and supported at a low cost. Furthermore, that these options reach women who are at risk for an unplanned pregnancy.
- Distributed approximately 1.5 million sets of CycleBeads to programs in low-resource settings such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Tanzania, and the Philippines.
