Invent Health is a salon-styled tech talk and mixer where valuable lessons and insights are shared by investors, tech pioneers and adopters. Invent Health is designed to take a 360-degree view of one particular topic. We conduct events in-person and online. 

For this event, we looked at women’s health, specifically fertility and menopause. 

Infertility is defined as being unable to get pregnant after one year of unprotected sex if women under 35 years of age, or 6 months in women 35 years and older. About 11% of women and 9% of men of childbearing age having infertility issues in the United States and the total fertility rate worldwide has dropped by nearly 1% per year from 1960 to 2018, which is more than 10% per decade and more than 50% over 50 years. There are a number of reasons why this might be happening, chief among them is that women are having children later, with the median age at which women gave birth in the United States increasing from 27 in 1990 to 30 in 2019.  

Fertility has become big business, with the market size in the U.S. alone expected to grow to $8.69 billion by 2033, up from $5.34 billion in 2023. Meanwhile, the global menopause market is even larger, hitting $15.4 billion in 2021 with projections to climb to $24.4 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research.

What are health plans covering? How are companies innovating?
