# Univfy

> Univfy is a California-based health-AI company that uses machine learning to give IVF patients personalized, center-specific predictions of their probability of a live birth. Founded by Stanford researchers Dr. Mylene Yao and Prof. Wing H. Wong, its platform analyzes thousands of real IVF cycles to move beyond age-only estimates, powering patient counseling, fertility benefits for employers and health plans, and IVF refund/warranty programs that make treatment more affordable and predictable.

- **Founded:** 2009
- **Headquarters:** Los Altos, California, United States
- **Founders:** Mylene Yao (Co-founder, Director & CEO), Wing H. Wong (Co-founder & Scientific Advisor)
- **Team size:** ~9 employees
- **Products:** Univfy PreIVF Report, Univfy AI/ML Platform, Univfy-Powered IVF Refund Programs, Fertility Benefits for Health Plans & Employers, Provider Network / Find a Fertility Doctor
- **Notable:** Peer-reviewed study in Nature Communications (2025) validating center-specific models over the US national registry model across 4,645 patients at six centers., Demonstrated PreIVF tests roughly 1,000x more powerful (likelihood scale) than age-based estimates for predicting first-cycle IVF live birth., Showed that age alone explains only ~50% of the variation in IVF success rates.

## Products & services

- **Univfy PreIVF Report** — An online report that analyzes an individual's fertility profile (age, BMI, Day 3 FSH, AMH, semen analysis, reproductive and medical history) against thousands of IVF cycles to deliver a personalized probability of live birth over the first cycles.
- **Univfy AI/ML Platform** — A scalable machine-learning platform that builds center-specific IVF prediction models, validated in peer-reviewed research to outperform US national registry-based models.
- **Univfy-Powered IVF Refund Programs** — Refund/warranty programs designed and implemented for fertility centers that, using Univfy's predictions, can qualify 50-80% of patients and refund 30-80% of program fees if no live birth occurs.
- **Fertility Benefits for Health Plans & Employers** — Platform services that bring transparency and predictability to fertility treatment success and costs for payers and employers.
