Hera Fertility (Techstars '23)

🚀 Countdown to Atlanta Babypalooza Baby Expo! 🗓️ We’re excited to connect with moms, parents, and anyone interested in learning more about fertility health at Hera Fertility (Techstars '23)'s booth. We’re bringing exclusive insights on secondary infertility—a topic that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. As recent stories like Cosmopolitan’s article by Christen A. Johnson highlight, secondary infertility is often unexpected, leaving families feeling unprepared and isolated. This is a crucial conversation, especially as awareness about the factors that affect fertility after a first child is still limited. We're here to change that. Whether you’re curious about how aging, health conditions, or other factors impact fertility, or you just want to learn more, stop by our booth and chat with us. Don’t forget to register for your free SWAG BAG pass! 🎁 Let’s work together to build understanding and support for all stages of the fertility journey. #babypalooza2024 #babyexpo #atlantamoms #secondaryinfertility #fertilityawareness #malefertility

It's time for the healthcare weekly round-up 🤝 📌 Welcome to Edition #16 of "Spotted! - This Week in Healthcare", and I'm your host: Vivek Nanda. Each week I share the interesting things that I spotted in the world of healthcare. Let's go... Edition #16 -- First up, we have Fair Square Medicare. Enrolling in Medicare isn’t always a smooth process. The San Francisco-based company creates tech-enabled services to help seniors find health insurance options and offers concierge support. The company launched a new generative AI platform called Vox to further support seniors enrolling in Medicare. The AI voice agent screens customers before they talk to a sales agent. It answers calls from potential customers, asks questions to understand their eligibility for Medicare and collects insights to direct them to the best plan for them. Isn't that awesome? Go check them out. CC: Daniel Petkevich -- Next up, meet Hera Fertility (Techstars '23). 9 million Americans face infertility related issues each year.  50% of infertility cases are due to men. Hera Fertility is revolutionizing Men's Health with At-Home solutions for testing, diagnosis, and treatment of infertility. Hera's app-based approach uses a test-treat-monitor model, and helps improve infertility 50% of the time. Go check them out! CC: Thivaher (Thiv) Paramsothy -- Just last month, I launched my new series where I delve into the minds of the game changers, the innovators, the visionaries, and the pioneers of the healthcare industry. The show is called: The Uprising Show. The 11 episodes that we released includes guests from health plans like SCAN and Jefferson Health Plans to founders of early stage companies like Klinic, Verto Health, ShiftRx, MedCompanion® | The Virtual Solution Shaping The Future of Healthcare, and so on. We have gotten over 60,000 views in the last 50 days across all podcast networks and YouTube. Check out all the episodes on theuprisingshow dot com. -- Last but not the least, meet Etta.io. Etta.io is a computer vision company that uses AI to help specialists detect tumors and deadly diseases that are challenging to see with the naked eye. Etta's AI-based specialist decision support tool instantly identifies skin and bladder cancers, at the point of care, during Total Body Skin Exams and Cystoscopies. Very promising - Go check them out! CC: Charu Singhal -- And that's a wrap! Tune in next week for more buzz from the health-tech world. Have a fantastic weekend.

Fertility is a man's problem. Fertility isn't just a woman's concern—it's a shared responsibility. Men's reproductive health is equally crucial, yet often overlooked. Factors like age, lifestyle, and environmental influences affect male fertility and the health of future offspring. The best fact we at Hera Fertility (Techstars '23) like to share is what Elle Hunt writes in the Guardian "There’s a crisis in male fertility. But you wouldn’t know it from the way many men behave" (link in the comments). Men also experience reproductive ageing, with those over the age of 40 about half as fertile as those under 25. Drinking, smoking, unhealthy lifestyles, medication, exposure to heat and toxins, and steroid use can all hasten the decline. Also, we are running a quick, anonymous survey of male fertility and men's health to learn more about men's health and how we can better help. Link to the survey in the comments (plus there's a raffle for a $50 gift card for those who complete the survey 😁 ) #fertilitycare #ivftreatment #malefertility #herafertility

On the Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots podcast this week, host William Larry explores Hera Fertility (Techstars '23)'s mission to transform fertility care through telemedicine with Founder and CEO Thivaher (Thiv) Paramsothy.

Thiv's approach leverages technology to enhance patient care and experience, making fertility care more accessible, especially in underserved areas, marking a significant shift towards a more patient-centered fertility treatment landscape. ✨ Check out the full episode!

Here at Hera Fertility (Techstars '23), we are deeply concerned by Alabama's recent Supreme Court ruling on frozen embryos. What breaks my heart is thinking about the patients who have yet another obstacle put in front of them to access care. It's why we started Hera Fertility. We are here for you all. We wrote a post that delves into the aftermath of this disappointing decision, shedding light on its implications for fertility patients across the state. https://lnkd.in/e52ZyBUE Please support and fight for the right to IVF. RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association has a Fight for Families campaign where you can tell legislators why IVF is necessary or share your personal experience https://lnkd.in/epiJMtCa #FertilityRights #IVFChallenges #AlabamaSupremeCourt #StandWithHera #HeraFertility #ivf #techstars #FightforFamilies #AccesstoCare
