babylyticsEvery Babylytics feature, explained
A reference covering every feature by life stage. Print to PDF with the button above for an offline copy.
1.Getting started
Babylytics handles three life stages on one platform: cycle (planning before pregnancy), pregnancy, and baby. You can run profiles for each separately and they transition smoothly when the time comes.
Create your first profile
From "My profiles", tap "Add profile" and pick the stage that fits — Cycle, Pregnancy, or Baby. Each stage shows a different sidebar tuned to what you actually need at that point.
Caregivers + roles
Invite a partner, doctor, nurse, or pharmacy by email. Each role sees a different slice of the data — partners see a curated summary (no raw symptom logs), doctors see the medical record, pharmacies see only medications.
Where: Profile → Caregivers
Switching profiles
The profile picker at the top of the sidebar lets you jump between profiles instantly. The sidebar refreshes to show the right pages for the active profile's stage.
2.Cycle (planning) features
For tracking your cycle, planning a pregnancy, or just understanding your body better.
Cycle calendar + prediction
Log periods, see fertile windows + predicted ovulation, track cycle length over time.
Where: Cycle → Cycle calendar
Energy forecast + 25+ daily ideas
Reads your phase + cycle mode + Egyptian/MENA context, surfaces a "today's read" and a phase-tuned suggestion.
BBT + vital signs
Basal body temperature, BP, blood sugar — all useful for fertility + general health tracking. Auto-converts F → C and lb → kg on import.
Personal pattern engine
After a few cycles, spots patterns in your data and drafts ready-to-send questions for your OB-GYN.
Partner mode
Invite a partner with the "Partner" role — they see a curated summary (current phase, days to next period, how to support) without your symptom logs.
Ramadan + cultural awareness
During Ramadan, suggestions and nutrition tips shift to suhoor + iftar guidance.
3.Pregnancy features
Through the 40 weeks. Risk-aware, week-by-week guided.
Pregnancy dashboard
Gestational age, trimester, weight gain band (IOM-based), latest BP / glucose / fetal heart rate, week-by-week "baby is the size of…"
Risk-pattern detection (ACOG / ADA)
Reads your tracked BP / glucose / weight / kicks and surfaces signals when patterns match published thresholds — preeclampsia screening, gestational diabetes screening, sudden weight gain, low fetal movement. Screening, not diagnosis.
Where: Pregnancy overview · top of page when active
Kick counter + maternal vitals
Tap-to-count fetal movements with the standard "10 in 2 hours" rule. BP / glucose / weight all log from one place.
Prenatal visits + ultrasound OCR
Upload a scan PDF or photo and Babylytics extracts gestational age, EFW, biometry, summary fields automatically.
Partner mode (pregnancy)
Curated view for your partner: gestational age, trimester, days to EDD, "how to support this trimester" copy. Never sees your symptom logs.
Pumping log (postpartum)
Appears once you've marked the baby as born. Track sessions: side, volume, duration, location.
4.Baby features
Daily care + intelligence layer. Logging plus prediction.
Daily logs
Feedings (with food name + symptoms), stool, sleep sessions, temperature, vaccinations, medications, measurements — all in one place with the right form for each.
Tonight's outlook
When asleep: predicted next wake (median nap duration). When awake: optimal next-nap window using age-banded wake windows from Polly Moore + Weissbluth research.
Where: Baby overview · top of page
Sleep regression detection
Flags ≥30% week-over-week drops in total sleep — catches the famous 4-month, 8-month, 12-month regressions.
Pattern alerts
Overtired pattern (short naps + frequent wakings → counter-intuitive earlier bedtime helps). Growth spurt (feed count up ≥30% week-over-week → feed on demand).
Risk signals (AAP / NICE)
Fever rules tuned to age — any fever under 3 months is treated as urgent per AAP/NICE. High fever, persistent fever, vomiting frequency, red-flag vomiting (projectile / bilious / blood) all flagged separately.
Pumping log
Sessions with side / volume / duration. Quick-log mode (full session) or Start now mode (open session you stop later).
Where: Baby → Care → Pumping log
5.AI companion
Available on every stage. Strict no-medical-advice rails.
Two modes: explain / draft
Explain a reading you logged (plain language + reference range + cite the guideline). Or draft a precise question for your next visit (cycle: OB-GYN, pregnancy: OB-GYN, baby: pediatrician).
Reads only your data
The AI sees only the structured snapshot the server sends — recent BP, glucose, weight, symptoms, etc. Never invents numbers. Never gives treatment recommendations.
5 calls / day / user
Rate-limited across all stages combined to keep API costs predictable.
6.Mental health check-in (EPDS + PHQ-2)
Self-screening at the right windows. Private to you only — partners and other caregivers never see results.
When prompts appear
1st-trimester PHQ-2 baseline · 3rd-trimester EPDS at ~32 weeks · postpartum EPDS at 2 weeks / 6 weeks / 3 months / 6 months. Cools down 21 days after any submission.
Crisis path
If your score is high or item 10 (self-harm thoughts) is non-zero, the result panel surfaces Egypt-specific crisis resources (Mental Health Hotline 0800-2000-200, Ambulance 123, nearest emergency room) and recommends contacting your doctor that day.
Privacy
Three-layer enforcement: row-level security (only your screenings, even other caregivers can't see them), partner-deny restrictive policy, server-side validation on insert. Never shared.
7.Smart nutrition (Egyptian-tuned)
Stage-aware tips drawn from Egyptian / MENA cuisine. Not generic "eat healthy" — actual dishes with their nutritional rationale.
How tips are picked
Each tip carries stage scope (cycle / pregnancy / baby), trimester or age-band filter, addresses-tag (iron / folate / calcium / etc.), and Ramadan flags. Engine ranks by weight × random × Ramadan boost × lab-deficiency boost.
Lab-deficiency boost
When you upload labs that flag a low value (Hgb, Ferritin, Vit D, etc.), tips that address that nutrient up-rank with a "For your labs" badge.
During Ramadan
Suhoor + iftar tips boost. Tips that don't make sense during fasting hide.
8.Community forum
Talk to other women in the same stage — by name or anonymously per post.
Stage-categorised
Cycle (general / PCOS / TTC / postpartum return), pregnancy (each trimester + birth), baby (newborn / older / toddler / sleep / feeding), general open chat.
Anonymous handles
Per-post toggle. When anonymous, you appear as a deterministic pseudonym (e.g. "BraveOwl42") that's consistent across the whole forum.
Reactions, follow, search
React with ❤️ 🤗 ✋ 🙏. Follow a thread to get reply pings even if you didn't post in it. Full-text search works for both English and Arabic queries.
Notification modes
In Preferences: instant (one ping per reply), daily digest (one summary per day), or off.
Moderation
Report any post for spam, harassment, medical misinformation, or other reasons. Admins review and can soft-delete.
9.Imports + uploads
Bring history in from anywhere — whether it lives on your phone, in a spreadsheet, or as PDFs / scans.
Apple Health import
Drop your export.zip — Babylytics parses it locally in your browser and lets you choose categories: cycle history, weight, BBT, sleep, BP, glucose. Re-importing the same file is a no-op.
Where: Profile → Records → Import
Bulk CSV import
Paste or upload CSV for any tabular category. Categories shown depend on the profile's stage.
Where: Profile → Records → Bulk import
Bulk file upload
Drag up to 50 PDFs / scan images at once. Each file's kind is auto-guessed from the filename and overridable per-file.
OCR Smart Scan
Single-file flow that uploads + auto-extracts content from prescriptions, labs, ultrasounds, reports. Sets up structured data you can review and confirm.
10.Privacy + data
How your data is protected and what we don't do with it.
Data isolation
Postgres row-level security ensures every query is scoped to your account. Other users — even other caregivers on the same baby — only see what you explicitly grant.
Partner mode lockdown
When you give someone the partner role, sensitive tables (cycle logs, symptoms, BP, glucose, sleep, kick counts, ultrasound notes, mental health) are blocked at the database level — not just hidden in the UI.
No data selling
Babylytics does not sell or share your data with advertisers. AI calls go to Anthropic with no training opt-in.
Account deletion
Contact support to request full deletion. Cascade removes everything — babies, logs, photos, messages, forum posts.
