“We believe a healthy life is a right, not a privilege,” says
Juan Carlos Riveiro, CEO & co-founder of Cercle. “Instead of continuing to collect cobwebs, the world’s medical data should be leveraged to generate groundbreaking data-driven insights at speed and scale. These insights can catalyze medical breakthroughs, and guide practitioners and patients to better healthcare decisions. That’s the founding mission behind Cercle, to personalize and contextualize biomedical and genomics information so women can make better, more informed health decisions. We are starting with the fertility market, and our long-term goal is to radically improve healthcare equity for women across the world.”
Cercle is already working with some of the biggest and most trustworthy fertility and genetics institutions,
US Fertility (USF) and
Eurofins Genoma. Through these partnerships, Cercle will establish a comprehensive and diverse knowledge base of fertility and genetics data that will enable better health decisions for patients.
“USF’s partnership with Cercle has helped us organize unstructured, de-identified clinical data for analysis. This is optimizing our research and internal quality assurance capabilities – maximizing accuracy, completeness, and efficiency,” says Medical Director and Chief Research Officer at US Fertility,
Kate Devine, M.D. “As a field, fertility medicine has dramatically improved and matured to the point of high success over a short time period. My hope is that AI tools will help us cross the next threshold of success in terms of patient outcomes, patient experience, and optimizing efficiency so that we can expand access to fertility care to everyone who needs it.”
Cercle’s partnership with
Eurofins Genoma will bring the power of the Cercle™ Biomedical Graph and its suite of tools to hundreds of fertility and genetics clinics across Europe. This alliance holds the potential to elevate IVF outcomes and success rates to unprecedented levels.
“Eurofins Genoma is optimistic about the use of AI in healthcare. The technology that Cercle leverages within its biomedical graph allows for efficient insights that clinics Eurofins Genoma serves did not have access to previously.” says Managing Director of Eurofins Genoma,
Marco Barbierato. “This will support the genetics industry to take a step towards contributing to improving overall health outcomes.”
The company’s mission is to
close the data gap in women’s healthcare. Excluding oncology, only 1% of biopharma pipeline assets and 2% of medtech novel approvals are aimed at addressing women’s health conditions. Women have also been historically excluded from the advancement of medicine
until the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 was passed by Congress, requiring inclusion of women in clinical research studies.
A study from the University of Copenhagen found that women are diagnosed an average of four years later than men when it comes to more than 700 diseases. These disparities along with a lack of reliably collected and processed data directly affect health outcomes for women globally.
Cercle’s current lead investors include Sheryl Sandberg and Tom Bernthal through their venture fund, Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners (SBVP).
Cercle plans to support doctors, clinics, biotech and pharmaceutical researchers, and healthcare communities across many women’s healthcare verticals and needs beyond fertility in the future.
