Bluetooth pregnancy test
We have the traditional predictor, the online pregnancy test, and now the bluetooth pregnancy test.
The truth is, I was already expecting a technological advance in pregnancy tests but my idea was more aimed at some gadget that connected to the physical mobile or wirelessly, would do a blood analysis with just a tiny prick, a simple drop of blood, which you could do shortly after getting pregnant, even days before the period, and with the characteristic effectiveness of laboratory analyses.
At the beginning of last year, several important media in the pregnancy test sector announced the advancement in the predictor field and announced the upcoming appearance in last spring of the first Bluetooth predictor, the First response PRO.
Time passed, and yes, we have confirmation that it is being sold, at least in the American market we can see it on Amazon USA, but unfortunately (or not) we still cannot find it in the Spanish market.
What can we expect from this predictor?
The truth is, as a pregnancy test it does not offer much more than any other, perhaps the point in its favor in this sense is that the result leaves no room for doubt as the application clearly indicates whether you are or aren't pregnant with a 99% reliability according to the manufacturer and you can perform the test up to 6 days before the period.
We could compare it with the Clearblue pregnancy test, specifically the digital model, although it does not have Bluetooth support, it only provides the result on a small screen like those of digital watches. Perhaps the strong point of the bluetooth pregnancy test is the application that, besides indicating the test result after the timer that counts the precise time to know the result, offers other options such as cycle control to indicate your fertile days, will calculate your approximate due date and will help you monitor the whole process,...
Unfortunately, we do not have the application in the Apple Spain app store but there is a version for Android on Google Play. In both app stores, we can find other applications that offer us the extra options that the bluetooth pregnancy test application provides and, surely, better ones.
Is the Bluetooth pregnancy test recommended?
In summary, we hope to soon have this pregnancy test available in the Spanish market to try it out, but really, is it worth it? Perhaps without trying it, I shouldn't make an evaluation, but considering that it will cost around 22$ and that we have other digital products like the Clearblue one that also shows us an unequivocal result and only costs about 11€, and if we talk about conventional tests that cost less than 1€, perhaps it is not a good option if we look at it from an economic standpoint.
If you read the fine print, the reliability it offers is 99% from the day we expect the period, reliability that is offered by almost all simple conventional tests you can find in the market like those we have in the store of this website.
But, do not doubt it, as soon as I have the opportunity I will conduct the appropriate tests and give you my viewpoint. Let's hope we can soon have the bluetooth pregnancy test and I can add it to my shopping list although don't forget that there are more methods to detect a pregnancy.
