Start with everyday observations.
AURA explores how image data collected in daily life can contribute to research on cervical mucus and discharge. The app provides a structure for recording observations over time.
The idea behind AURA
A little curiosity.
A different
conversation.
What if understanding your body started with paying attention? AURA grew from that question — and a belief that body literacy should feel more human.

01 /The reason we started
Some things are part of everyday life.
Let’s talk about them that way.
Body signals.
Without the taboo.
Discharge and cervical mucus can be difficult to talk about — and even harder to understand when nobody has explained them. AURA makes room for those observations, alongside temperature, symptoms, and the way you feel.
A record of everyday changes can become a starting point for learning, reflection, and conversations with a professional. Our mission is to make that record easier to build, and body literacy more approachable.

Rooted in research.
Built around people.
AURA began in university projects and is connected to master’s-level research at HTW Berlin.

Ask better questions.
Our work brings computer science, image analysis, and machine learning into conversation with women’s health. We investigate how scientifically grounded models could help people understand what they are seeing.
Keep people at the centre.
The aim is to support learning and professional conversations. Research is an ongoing process, shaped by careful development and the people who take part.
03 /A thoughtful foundation
Research asks
for trust.
Clarity comes first.
Health data is personal. Understanding what you’re taking part in matters.
AURA is a university research and development project. Its approach to collecting and evaluating data is explained in the consent information — including what is collected, how it is used, and the choices available to participants.
Take the time to read it before deciding to participate. And if something is unclear, we’re here for the conversation.
