Summary on the first page
The patient generates the overview on her phone for the last 3, 6 or 12 months or for a custom period. She chooses which sections to include. The summary on page one is always included.
- Period covered and report ID
The ID identifies a specific generated overview. It is not used to verify authenticity.
- Cycle length with range and n
The average is calculated only from completed cycles, excluding manually excluded and hormonally induced cycles. n is their number. An ongoing cycle is displayed but is not included in the statistics.
- Medication adherence
The percentage of doses taken out of those recorded over the last 30 days (or less) of the selected period, not out of all prescribed doses.
- Individual cycle lengths
Each bar is one cycle. A dashed outline marks a cycle that is still ongoing.
- Record coverage
Number of recorded days and measurements. Does not verify the accuracy of the data.
The overview is
- a summary of the patient's own records for the selected period
- averages, ranges and counts calculated from those records
- background material for a discussion about the patient’s own records
- also designed for black-and-white printing
The overview is not
- a diagnosis or an assessment of whether the patient has PCOS
- the output of a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745
- an interpretation of values, as the PDF overview uses no target or reference ranges
- a prediction of ovulation or fertile days
Section types and their order
Information cards describe the types of sections in the order they appear, not fixed page numbers. The number of pages varies depending on the content, the continuation of the patient’s notes, and any concluding pages with legal information.

Conventions worth knowing
The overview is designed not to confuse a missing record with the absence of a symptom. That is why figures are shown with a denominator.
40/62Symptom frequency. Days with the symptom / days on which the patient recorded that area. A day without an entry is not counted as a symptom-free day.
Tracked, not present:Tracked, not present. The underlying field was filled in and showed no occurrence of a symptom. This is different from an empty field; a missing day is not considered a symptom-free day.
average severity 0-5The patient's subjective scale. Shown in the overview as a monthly average. Useful for following change in one patient, not for comparison between patients.
Cycle 1 · 20. 11.-24. 12.Cycle length. Counted from the first day of recorded bleeding, including spotting, to the day before the next cycle starts. A new start requires at least 7 consecutive days with no bleeding record and at least 14 days since the previous start, otherwise the app merges the episodes. The patient marks medication-induced bleeding, and the marker can carry over to further records in the same episode. The overview labels the cycle as hormonally induced if more than half of its recorded bleeding days carry the marker. Manual exclusion from analysis is a separate choice. Records can be added or edited retrospectively. The PDF does not show when they were created or edited.
n = 3 (+1 ongoing)Cycle statistics. Only completed cycles are included in the statistics, excluding manually excluded cycles and hormonally induced cycles. Excluded cycles remain in the history and are marked as such.
mmol/LThe patient manually records blood glucose readings from a home glucose meter. Results for different measurement situations are not combined. The PDF overview shows the average, range, and count; monthly averages are for fasting readings only. The PDF overview supports mmol/l and mg/dl and uses the unit of the last measurement within the selected period.
Medication adherence88 %Doses taken / doses logged. Days without an entry are not counted as missed. Actual adherence may therefore be lower.
The overview is created on the patient's phone
No account required
Pomaia does not require registration or a login.
The overview is generated on the phone
The app processes both the records and the PDF on the phone. It does not automatically send the PDF anywhere, and we do not have a medical portal.
Shared only by the patient
The patient sends, prints, or shows the PDF herself. The patient encrypts the optional backup with a password that we do not know.
The Privacy Policy describes the app’s software crash diagnostics and in-app purchases.

Questions from doctors
What is Pomaia?
Pomaia is a personal diary for tracking the cycle, symptoms, mood, medication and self-recorded measurements. It is intended mainly for women with PCOS and cycles of varying length, but anyone can use it. It stores records on the phone, displays them clearly and calculates simple descriptive summaries from them: averages, ranges, counts and associations between records. It does not make diagnoses, does not predict ovulation or fertile days, does not evaluate measured values against target ranges and does not recommend treatment or dosing.
Is Pomaia a medical device?
No. Pomaia is a personal tracking app within the meaning of recital 19 of Regulation (EU) 2017/745. The PDF overview does not make diagnoses, does not interpret measured values and does not recommend treatment.
How accurate is the data?
The patient enters the input data manually; the app calculates the summaries. The overview shows the number of entries alongside the figures and the record coverage on page one.
Which languages is the overview available in?
Czech, Slovak, English and German. The patient chooses the language when she generates the overview.
Can I file the overview in the medical record?
This is a document that the patient has provided to you. How you handle it is up to you and the policies of your practice. It contains her records and summaries calculated from them.
What does it cost the patient?
Tracking of cycles, symptoms, medications and blood glucose, as well as the PDF overview, is free of charge.
Pomaia is not a CE-marked medical device under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. It is a personal wellness tracking app. The Pomaia PDF overview is not a clinical or diagnostic document. The input data in it was recorded by the patient herself for personal tracking. The summaries, averages and derived scores were calculated from that data by the app. The PDF overview contains no medical advice, diagnoses or treatment recommendations and does not replace clinical assessment. The data in the example on this page is illustrative.
