Cambridge Temperature Concepts (CTC) [Cambridge Temperature Concepts Limited is a UK registered company (number 5943341)] is a UK based company which is currently developing a patented fertility monitor called "DuoFertility" [ [http://www.duofertility.com/ DuoFertility | The most accurate, convenient and reliable personal fertility monitor on the market ] ] . The company was started by six post graduate students (Dr S. Husheer, Dr D. Naumann, Dr O. Chausiaux, L. Ferguson, C. Ayoub and S. Mackie) at the University of Cambridge, England in 2005, and won multiple entrepreneur awards at the University, including the "Downing Enterprise" award [ [http://www.downingcambridge.com/development/projects/downing-enterprise/past-winners Past Winners - Alumni & Development ] ] , the "CUEBiC Business Plan Competition" [ [http://www.cue.org.uk/node/1052 Where Angels Dare 2007 | Cambridge University Entrepreneurs ] ] , and the "UKSEC Business Plan Competition" [ [http://www.enterprise.ac.uk/news/29/ News Detail ] ] .
Media Coverage
Because of the new and innovative ideas for the detection of ovulation for couple trying to conceive, CTC has received much publicity including articles in "Business Weekly", "The Cambridge News", "The Telegraph" [ [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2008/05/18/ccstartup118.xml Temperatures rise for Cambridge fertility innovators - Telegraph ] ] , and "The Daily Mail" [ [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1024175/The-skin-patch-tell-women-fertile.html The skin patch that can tell women when they are most fertile | Mail Online ] ]
DuoFertility
The "DuoFertility" device can aid the practice of fertility awareness or natural family planning (although it will be marketed only to help achieve pregnancy, while other systems for FA and NFP can also be used as birth control). It consists of a stick-on patch containing a coin-sized circuit that automatically measures and records basal body temperature every few minutes. A hand-held device is then used to read out the temperature data and analyse it. Knowing the body basal temperature can be used to predict the time of ovulation, and therefore a trace of daily and monthly temperature trends can be used in this way to aid couples to conceive.
