BTT™ and Personal Health

 

• BTT™ and Family Planning

• The Brain Temperature Tunnel™ (BTT™) will
become a "key for life."


 

BTT™ measurement can be used for the continuous monitoring of basal temperature of patients at home for family planning using a natural, safe and drug-free method. This would primarily be of great utility during sleep because ovulation is identified by basal temperature measured in the very early morning at approximately 5 AM.

• Many problems, inconveniences and diseases occur

with the use of current methods for family planning,
such as:

  • Contraceptive pill: lserious complications are well known to be associated with the Pill — some can be life-threatening, including blood clots, stroke and heart attack
  • IUD and other internal devices: internal devices including the IUD and the diaphragm have less complications but are also less reliable due to user error and product issues; such as, pelvic inflammatory disease, perforation of the uterus, abnormal bleeding, cramps (IUD), urinary tract infections, vaginal irritation and misuse (diaphragm)
  • Condoms: in addition to the known inconvenience of the condom, an increasing number of men and women suffer from latex allergies
  • Rhythm method: rectal thermometers used for family planning have significant drawbacks including: only single measurement, ineffective and painful

A significant improvement in family planning can be achieved by providing a device for
continuous monitoring of basal temperature as provided by the BTT, which offers a natural
and safe alternative for human reproductive needs.

• BTT™ and Caring for Children, the Elderly and

Patients with Chronic Disease

 

Before BTT, the preferred method of taking a newborn's and young infant's temperature (under 3 months) has been the rectal thermometer. Today the BTT offers a preferred method of monitoring newborn, infant and children's temperature, which is not only more accurate, but is also easier to administer and more comfortable for the patient.

These same features make BTT the choice for temperature monitoring for the elderly and for chronic care patients. Indeed, as the baby boomer generation moves into the eldercare market, the need for a more effective and cost efficient monitoring system will become that much more important and presents an enormous market opportunity for the BTT technology.
