Maven Clinic

Last week, Maven gathered maternal health change makers in New York for our annual MPact for Families Summit. From community-based organizations to clinicians, advocates, and operators, the room brought together people with different vantage points on maternal health — and a shared commitment to moving it forward. As our Chief Medical Officer, Neel Shah, writes in the latest issue of The Preprint: “Hope for women and families does not require perfect alignment. It asks only that enough of us move, decisively, in the direction of repair.” This year’s MPact for Families Fellows — Perinatal Health Equity Initiative and Hummingbird Indigenous Family Services — embody what it means to move decisively in the direction of repair. They are building the trust that is critical to driving better outcomes and demonstrating what it looks like when care is rooted in community needs and solutions.   Through the day-long summit, we spoke openly about the challenges community-based organizations are navigating: strengthening operations as funding streams evaporate, supporting families amid a fraying safety net, and sustaining teams in the face of ongoing trauma. And yet, despite these conversations, our fellows continue to show up — for families and for one another. That commitment left many of us with a feeling we’ve been eager for during a challenging year: hope. Not the passive kind, but the kind rooted in action, honesty, and partnership. We’re deeply grateful to our fellows, to our partners at 4Kira4Moms, Inc., and to the many Mavens who made the day possible. The momentum is real — and it’s being built by community leaders every single day. Explore the latest issue of The Preprint and learn more about our fellows here: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gFKK2TUV

👀 Missed last week’s maternity product roadmap webinar? We shared a first look at what’s coming next in Maven’s maternity experience and heard from hundreds of employers and health plans about what’s top of mind as they work to better support women and families. What did everyone think? Take a look for yourself: 👉“Fantastic, easy to understand content! Helpful to better understand enhancements and love the AI litmus test of accuracy, equity and outcomes.” 👉“Maven's integration with AI and keeping ‘human connection’ at the core of your support.” 👉“New intentional features are on deck to further improve outcomes for members.” 👉“The rigor that you bring to product development.” 👉“I need to encourage my pregnant employees to really engage in the Maven app to reduce likelihood of risks during pregnancy.” The discussion made clear just how urgently organizations are seeking solutions that improve outcomes and provide meaningful support through increasingly complex pregnancies. If you’re exploring ways to reduce high-cost interventions, support high-risk pregnancies, or improve NICU-related outcomes, we’d love to show you what’s possible. 📞 Request a demo: https://lnkd.in/gYkxjtvB

💌 A decade of helping people grow their families, and moments like this still stop us in our tracks. Fertility journeys are often complex, emotional, and uniquely challenging. Being invited into these milestones is something we never take for granted. It’s a privilege to support members through the milestones that shape their path to parenthood. 🥂 Here’s to the road ahead, and to the moments that remind us why it matters.

As parents, we have to make tough calls all the time, with limited data, amidst a lot of noise. Often our best instincts are all we have. The CDC’s decision last week to overturn longstanding recommendations on vaccinating newborns against Hepatitis B makes being a parent harder. For decades, the medical community — from the American Academy of Pediatrics to the March of Dimes — has stood firmly behind the newborn Hep B vaccine because it protects babies from chronic, lifelong infection while simplifying administration for the parent. This reversal will force parents to parse conflicting guidance at a moment when what they need most is clarity. And this isn’t just about one vaccine. It’s about deepening skepticism about the entire childhood vaccine schedule at a time when confidence in public health is already fragile. It’s about the fact that changing evidence-based recommendations without a clear scientific rationale makes parents feel crazy and doubt their own best instincts. Vaccines remain one of the most powerful tools we have to protect kids and communities. Parents deserve clarity, not confusion — and a public-health system that strengthens confidence rather than undermines it.

📝 A new peer-reviewed study in Digital Health finds that use of Maven’s comprehensive digital Menopause Program was associated with meaningful reductions in menopause symptoms and increased empowerment in navigating this transition. After three months of Maven use: ➡️ 92% of users experiencing menopause symptoms had a reduction in the severity of at least one symptom. ➡️ Across all users, the severity of each menopause symptom decreased. ➡️ 44% reported a reduction in hot flashes. ➡️ 38% reported improved sleep quality. Maven also supported users beyond symptom relief: ➡️ 68% said Maven helped them learn what to expect during menopause and their options for managing symptoms. ➡️ 34% said Maven helped them advocate for themselves with providers. These results underscore the power of digital health platforms to improve menopause care — combining education, community, and access to specialized providers to support women through every stage of their health journey.

Leading Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences employers are redefining what it means to support their people—delivering measurable ROI through smarter, more connected benefits. When Curia partnered with Maven to deliver family-building support—from preconception coaching and fertility cost management to maternity and return-to-work planning—the results were clear: streamlined administration, reduced vendor complexity, and measurable improvements in employee satisfaction. “My favorite part of the job is when we can offer benefits that are important to employees and make a positive impact on their lives. And I truly believe Maven has a positive impact on people’s lives. When you’re trying to start a family, you may not know where to go for resources and support. I wish I had Maven when I was younger and starting my family.” — Jodi Garofolo, Associate Director of Benefits, Curia Maven’s intelligent platform brings fertility, maternity, and menopause support together—combining clinical expertise and technology to close the gaps traditional care leaves behind. When care is scattered across apps and vendors, it drives costs up and outcomes down. Maven integrates evidence-based support and AI-powered personalization into existing health plan coverage—multiplying the impact of every benefit.
