The device continuously records intravaginal core body temperature at 5-minute intervals. The sensor itself measures approximately 1\,cm $\times$ 1\,cm $\times$ 2\,cm and is embedded in a silicone ring with a diameter of 5\,cm for ease of use. It pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth to synchronize and upload recorded data to a secure database.
