Part 1 : Web (Database) to Mobile

Ovü Mobile

Quick idea: Women who are trying to have children (or trying not to) can log their cycle into a website once and based on a 28 day prediction, receive information on their cell phones regarding what stage they are in their cycle.

Who’s it for: Primarily, its for couples trying to get pregnant. However, this is something that is beneficial for any woman because there are always going to be times when this information is useful.

When will people use it: A text message can be sent to retrieve information at any point during the month whern a woman is wondering where she is in her cycle.

Useful for the following people:
1. couples trying to get pregnant to know when ovulation occurs
2. women trying to avoid pregnancy based upon their cycle
3. any woman at the gynocologist trying to remember when her last period was- they ALWAYS ask!
4. those who plan vacations around such things

What data will I need: I’ll need a database to track the cycles of individual users and maybe (meaning, eventually) some kind of automatic notice system maybe that they can set up so the phone alerts at a specified day of the month.

Syntax: The user can enter in any of the following to retrieve information:
- !o, this will return the predicted date of ovulation
- !p, this will return the first day of her last period

So the database is built and the popper file sends a message back to the email when I run it. My phone does not send text messages to email addresses (not even the fancy one from Nokia!) So I’m going to have to borrow one to test this on a real phone but it appears to be working just fine from the computer email side… except I spelled “heute” wrong in my email.
