Independent Research

Don't rely on our 29 years of observations.

Select your own participants, design your own study, follow the process yourself and test the hypothesis independently.

The result does not have to support SCS.

Researcher control

Participant selection, inclusion and exclusion criteria, study design and statistical methods remain under the researcher’s control.

Two research pathways

A verified researcher may request existing anonymized historical SCS data or initiate an independent prospective study.

Dedicated researcher panel

Each researcher can access only the study they are authorized for and the participants enrolled in that study.

Research fields that can be recorded

Subject to ethical, legal and privacy safeguards, menstrual start date-times, cycle durations in hours, protocol timing information, pregnancy outcome, birth date-time, predefined maternal, infant, neonatal and child-health outcomes, and calculated SCS variables may be evaluated. Raw observations are kept separate from calculated variables.

Raw data and calculated variables are separate

Raw observations are kept separate from variables calculated by SCS. Researchers may conduct blinded follow-up and analysis without seeing the SCS classification.

Cohorts are not mixed

Healthy spontaneous-pregnancy cohorts are kept separate from infertility and IVF cohorts. IVF and ICSI data may be evaluated separately for research on the fertilization-to-birth interval.

Separate informed consent and data security

Consent to use the application is not consent to participate in research. Research requires separate informed consent; exported datasets contain no direct identifiers, and access and export events are logged.

Research access is activated only after academic identity verification and review of the study protocol and required ethics and legal approvals. This page alone does not authorize data access or participant recruitment.
