Univfy and PracticeHwy Announce Partnership to Expand Access to Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Platform for Fertility Providers and Patients

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, California and IRVING, TX, January 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Univfy, a global leader in using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to personalize advice and increase access to fertility care, today announced a strategic partnership with PracticeHwy’s electronic medical records solution, eIVF, a pioneer in the fertility industry and a portfolio company of Atlantic Street Capital “ASC”. The goal of the partnership is to bring a higher level of understanding to fertility care by making fertility treatments more affordable, predictable and effective, while supporting the growth of the fertility market.

Univfy’s highly scalable AI/ML platform provides validated IVF success prediction models using each fertility center’s own data to support more effective patient counseling. Patients counseled with the Univfy report are 2-3 times more likely to use the treatment recommended by their doctor, maximizing their chances of having a healthy baby. The partnership with eIVF will support the transmission of data between the Univfy AI platform and the EMR, enabling easy and automated generation of the Univfy PreIVF report and Univfy AI/ML-assisted tool suite.

“This partnership with eIVF will accelerate and automate Univfy point-of-care reporting, making reporting accessible to many more fertility patients,” said Mylene Yao, CEO and co-founder of Univfy. “Providers have requested that Univfy AI/ML products become a standard part of patient care. Patients and providers value the transparency, personalization, and accuracy regarding their IVF success rates, so they can take better decisions about their treatment.”

“PracticeHwy’s collaboration with Univfy reinforces our commitment to our customers to grow eIVF’s suite of offerings with innovative partners,” said Nimesh Shah, CEO of PracticeHwy. “We are thrilled that our partnership is creating a streamlined experience for eIVF’s growing network of fertility centers by providing a simpler and more efficient workflow for physicians and their teams.”

One in eight couples, or 7 million, of childbearing age in the United States and more than 80 million couples worldwide struggle to conceive on their own. IVF is the most successful treatment for most women and couples, but it is vastly underused, likely due to financial risk and physical and emotional stress. The Univfy AI platform is designed to meet the medical, emotional and financial needs of fertility patients.

Last month, Univfy announced that it had raised $6 million from its Series B funding round, which will enable expanded access to Univfy AI/ML services to more patients through fertility centers, employers, benefit programs and health plans.
