英文早点丨0821 - APP能避孕？美国食品药品监督管理局可都批准了~

去年7月，一款名为Natural Cycles的应用募集了600万美元的A轮融资。今年8月份，该产品刚刚由欧盟认证为避孕手段，为其冲出欧洲，打入世界避孕类市场增添了信心。Natural Cycles的订阅类产品目前在全球约160个国家拥有超过50万用户，它运用一套专门开发的算法，通过测量诸如温度等因素来确定女性的受孕期。

It's not who you are underneath， it's what you do that defines you.

There have never been so many choices when it comes to birth control, and now the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a ‘digital contraceptive’ for the first time.

Natural Cycles is a fertility-tracking app for women, which uses algorithms to calculate the days of the month on which the user is most fertile, and therefore should not have unprotected sex should they wish to avoid getting pregnant.
