Abstract

Accurate prediction of the ovulation and menstrual days by bio-signals that can be easily measured is the wish of many women, and technological development for that will greatly contribute to women’s QOL. Although many studies have reported the differences in autonomic indices of heart rate variability (HRV) between the follicular and luteal phases, they have not yet reached the level that can predict the phases in the menstrual cycle. The dynamics of heart rate, however, carries plenty of information, and only a limited part of them has been examined in these studies. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of currently known HRV and heart rate dynamics measures in relation to the menstrual cycle.
