Is Ovura a medical app that replaces my doctor?

No. Ovura is a nutrition and lifestyle assistant designed especially for PCOS. It does not replace your doctor or dietitian; it provides practical, everyday guidance that complements their recommendations.

Are my cycle and health data safe with Ovura?

Yes. We store your data according to strict privacy principles and never sell or share it with third parties without your consent. We only use anonymized data to improve the app and provide better recommendations.

Do I need a confirmed PCOS diagnosis to use Ovura?

No. You can use Ovura even if you simply suspect hormonal imbalance, have irregular cycles, or want to better understand your body. For diagnosis and treatment, you should always consult a healthcare professional.

My diet feels overwhelming. Can Ovura really make things easier?

Yes. Ovura helps you scan meals with photos, log what you eat, and track symptoms over time. This makes it much easier to see which choices actually help you feel better day by day.
