Democratizing Women's Health: How Kirsten Karchmer Is Making Fertility Care Affordable for Everyone

It's like your fingerprint of today of your health.

And so maybe you have like, people will come to me and they'll say, you know, I've been trying forever.

I'm doing everything.

The doctor says I have unexplained infertility.

And then I'm like, well, you have your energy as a three out of 10.

And they're like, I know, but I just like drink caffeine and I can get through the day.

And like, Your HRV, which is a stress metric, is like 20 and it should be like 100.

They're like, yeah, I just power through.

I just power through like I vape.

And, you know, we're just so we just don't listen to any of the signals or there's a lot of resources to help like put band-aids on our symptoms so that we can push through and keep grinding.

And that's really proud of that.

So the problem that we're solving is like, how do we take all that data? and make it valuable for the user so that we can make predictable and recurring improvements that are measurable.

I don't think that if you don't build something that's predictable and measurable result every single month, that's a piece of garbage.

I love what you said there, too.

You carefully chose your word there, making improvements, because we certainly live in this over-information age, especially with AI.

Information is so cheap.

Arguably, even my Oura Ring, it's sending me information all the time, but it's not necessarily giving me a next step.

It's really up to the user to determine what to do with that information and to make improvements versus simply just tracking it, right? Because you can track all day, you know, what they, the time old saying of what gets measured gets done.

You still have to do the work, right? Yeah, that's good.

I'm going to

actually, I'm going to

make a

TikTok about that today.

There we go.

Awesome.
