Biofeedback data acquisition is an extremely important task in body sensor networks (BSNs). Data collected by sensors need to be processed in order to be shown in an easy and meaningful way for the user. The use of mobile devices may support and offer new user experiences. When connected to a BSN they can aggregate and process data collected by each sensor, providing a mobile solution for a healthcare system. This mobility offers a better patients' quality of life allowing a regular daily routine and always under monitoring. This paper proposes a Symbian-based mobile solution for intra-body temperature monitoring. Mobile device connects wirelessly to an intra-vaginal temperature sensor and interacts with sensor for temperature data collection and monitoring. This system helps women to detect their fertile and ovulation periods by the increasing of their intra-vaginal temperature. The mobile system was tested and validated with success and it is available for regular use.
