A method for determining a fertility period for a female human individual (FU), carried out in a device comprising a controller, a non-invasive heart sensor placed in contact or opposite to a portion of the skin of the individual, during the sleep of the individual, the heart sensor being configured to sense heart pulses of the individual and the controller being configured to determine the heart rate, the method comprising the following steps: /a/ collecting, at the sensor, heart pulses signals of the individual; /b/ extracting therefrom, at the controller, current heart rate during a night; /c/ calculating a minimal sleep heart rate denoted MSHR(i), over the night; /d/ comparing MSHR(i) with values of MSHR(k) recorded previously, and/or comparing MSHR(i) with a long term average of the minimal sleep heart rate values denoted LTHR; /e/ deducing therefrom a current ovulation probability index, according to a predefined criteria; /f/ if the ovulation probability index is higher than a predefined threshold denoted PTH, notify the individual with a fertility time window.
A method for determining a fertility period for a female human individual (FU), carried out in a device comprising a controller, one or more non-invasive heart sensor placed in contact with or opposite to a portion of the skin of the individual, at least during the sleep of the individual, the heart sensor being configured to sense heart pulses of the individual and the controller being configured to determine the heart rate, the method comprising the following steps:
