NVIDIA & Hertility: Accelerating Female Healthcare With AI

Hertility, a pioneering reproductive health platform, has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Programme, a milestone announced by the company’s Founder and CEO, Dr Helen O’Neill, on LinkedIn. 

This achievement positions Hertility among a global community of AI-driven companies dedicated to transforming healthcare. 

With a focus on data-driven diagnostics and personalised reproductive care, Hertility is leveraging its expansive dataset to address longstanding gaps in women’s health.

Tackling the gender data gap

For decades, women have been underrepresented in clinical research, leaving healthcare solutions often based on incomplete or outdated data, according to Hertility.

The partnership with NVIDIA signals a major step toward building a foundational AI platform designed to benefit the 51% of the global population historically underrepresented in medical research.

Hertility seeks to challenge this imbalance by creating the largest global dataset on female reproductive health, comprising more than 835,000 data variables. 

The platform provides women with personalised insights into fertility, hormonal wellbeing and reproductive health, moving beyond generic approaches to care. 

“I’m proud to share that Hertility has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Programme, joining a global community of companies advancing the future of AI,” announced Dr Helen O’Neill, CEO and Founder of Hertility, on LinkedIn.

“This partnership marks an important step as we continue building toward a foundational AI platform for women’s health, one designed to ensure that 51% of the world finally benefits from data-driven medicine.

“Grateful to our brilliant Data & AI team and to the NVIDIA healthcare AI group for the collaboration and shared vision.

“We’re only just getting started.”

By channeling this wealth of data into AI-driven tools, Hertility is aiming to set a new standard for evidence-based, individualised healthcare for women.

Accelerating innovation with NVIDIA

Hertility’s inclusion in the NVIDIA Inception Programme is more than a symbolic partnership, it can provide access to NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technology, AI expertise and global investor network. 

The programme is recognised for accelerating high-potential AI startups, particularly in healthcare and can offer the infrastructure necessary for serious product development. 

Through this collaboration, Hertility aims to expand its AI capabilities, shorten diagnostic timelines and improve patient outcomes by delivering real-time, personalised solutions.

“At Hertility, we have modelled the impact of prevention and early diagnostics at scale,” writes Deirdre O’Neill, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial & Legal Officer of Hertility, on LinkedIn.

“The data is clear. 

“If the world shifted to proactive reproductive and hormonal health screening, health systems could save over eight trillion in avoidable costs. 

“Eight trillion, unlocked through earlier diagnosis, earlier intervention and less disease progression.

Shaping the future

Despite being a critical healthcare sector, “women’s health remains significantly underfunded relative to its importance for global wellbeing and economic growth,” says the World Economic Forum.

Hertility’s combination of proprietary data, AI-driven diagnostics and strategic partnerships positions it as a leader in this space. 

By creating tools that reflect the diversity of the global female population, the company is helping to ensure that women receive medical insights and care tailored to their unique biology. 

Supporting women at every stage

NVIDIA complements this AI-driven innovation with resources for women and families through its “Building Your Family” initiative. 

The program offers guidance on adoption, fertility testing, IVF treatment and surrogacy, helping users navigate some of life’s most important decisions. 

Through partnerships with Inflection (formerly FertilityIQ), women can access educational courses on IVF, PCOS and menopause while connecting with leading fertility experts. 

Peppy offers personalised support for menopause, period pain, endometriosis and PCOS via smartphone access to human experts, available to all who identify as women, including trans, non-binary and gender-nonconforming individuals.

For users with employer medical plans, NVIDIA also provides support through WIN, assisting Cigna and Kaiser members with fertility, adoption and surrogacy. 

Services include 24/7 Nurse Care Managers, guidance on treatment options, emotional support and surrogacy administration.

These resources help to prove NVIDIA's passion for progressing women's health.

By making reproductive science accessible and actionable, Hertility enables women to understand and take charge of their health, this is expected to accelerate with NVIDIA's support.

From fertility and conception support to hormone and gynecological condition management, Hertility’s AI-driven solutions are designed to improve outcomes for women worldwide.

The NVIDIA partnership marks a pivotal step in Hertility’s journey to deliver a new era of data-driven, personalised healthcare for women.
