Our take
Maven is a virtual care provider that is particularly focused on delivering better outcomes for women. Its online pregnancy, fertility, and pregnancy clinic gives users holistic care. The digital health model delivered by Maven is intended to make healthcare services more accessible: it aims to support those that have been marginalized by the traditional health care system.
This means that Maven forms part of the global digital health market; a burgeoning sector of the Internet economy. Many companies are already delivering digital healthcare solutions: rivals to Maven include Doctor On Demand, Heal, Pager, 98point6 , K Health, Lemonaid, MDLIVE, First Stop Health and HealthTap. However, Maven's focused on marginalised groups is what sets it apart.
Maven has received significant funding as it continues to address areas of underrepresented healthcare coverage, such as treatment of postnatal depression. As the company grows, Maven will use this new funding to continue to personalise its platform and enhance its service's cultural flexibility, increasing its support networks across all stages of family and reproductive life. Recent examples of expansion is new product offering for personalised support for those trying to conceive naturally.
