trackle GmbH: Pioneer in hormone-free contraception and cycle observation

About the Company

trackle GmbH, founded in 2015 in Bonn, Germany, is an innovative MedTech company specializing in the development and manufacturing of the trackle sensor system. This system serves as a cycle computer to determine fertility and offers a safe, hormone-free alternative to traditional contraception.

Main Mission and Values

edit

The company is dedicated to enabling women and people with cycles to make reflective and conscious life decisions. Founder Katrin Reuter and her husband Maxim Loick, who both come from different fields (archaeology and musicology), developed the trackle sensor system out of personal need. Their mission is to promote awareness of natural contraceptive methods and simplify access to these methods[1].

Key Products and Services

edit

The trackle sensor system is a tampon-sized temperature sensor that is worn vaginally and measures core body temperature overnight. The collected data is transmitted to a free app in the morning, which shows users on which days they are fertile. This system allows for hormone-free contraception, supports the desire to have children, or helps to observe and control the cycle. The system is certified as a Class IIb medical device and meets the strict requirements of the Medical Device Directive[2][4].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

edit

trackle places great importance on the safety and privacy of its users. The data is stored in the Microsoft Cloud Germany, a data trustee model that ensures data sovereignty remains with the users and that US authorities have no access to the servers. This approach underscores the company's commitment to protecting sensitive health data[4].

Awards and Achievements

edit

trackle has received numerous awards and achievements, including 1st place at the Rheinland Pitch Final 2016, the Digital Leader Award 2019, and the title "Founder of the Year 2022". Katrin Reuter was also listed among the 25 women whose inventions are changing our lives, by Edition F[1].

Community and Education

edit

The company is also engaged in education and community work. It offers free online webinars and Instagram live sessions to inform users about hormone-free contraception and the symptothermal method. These initiatives demonstrate trackle's commitment to building a well-informed and supported community[1][4].

trackle GmbH is a pioneer in the development of innovative, hormone-free contraceptive methods and is committed to the health and well-being of women and people with cycles. With its unique sensor system and focus on safety, privacy, and education, trackle has established itself as a trusted partner in the world of natural family planning.
