Fertility clinics are facing a data explosion that threatens efficiency, profitability, and patient outcomes. Healthcare generates 30% of the world’s data, growing faster than any other industry, yet 97% of this data remains unstructured and underutilized. Clinics are drowning in fragmented records, costly data management, and administrative burdens, leaving fertility specialists struggling to balance patient care with overwhelming documentation. AI-powered automation is now eliminating data chaos, cutting costs, and accelerating patient conversion.

Nurses, Embryologists Spending ⅔ of Hours on Administrative Duties

Fertility providers generate immense amounts of data—from clinical notes and lab tests to medical imaging and patient records. Yet, without a unified system, much of this information remains inaccessible. Cercle AI reports that extracting insights from EMR data has been a specific issue that every fertility center experiences.

  • 50 petabytes of healthcare data are produced annually, yet the majority is unstructured and goes unused (WEF).

  • 97% of clinical data remains unstructured, preventing actionable insights (RBC Capital Markets).

  • Healthcare data engineers earn a median salary of $145K, and clinics typically employ 5–30 data engineers, creating a massive operational expense.

  • Embryologists and nurses report spending only 1/3 of their time on clinical duties, with the rest consumed by administrative tasks.

Embryologists indicate they cannot grow and take on more patients without a way to remove the data burden on the teams. The inefficiencies in data management are directly impacting the bottom line and the ability to scale fertility practices.

  • Stop wasting 97% of clinical data.

  • Most data solutions cost $500K, and even then clinics are facing 60% patient loss. 

  • Eliminate the “vendor management tax” and recapture lost patients.

  • Replace costly, manual data extraction 

  • Free Up ⅔ of Embryologist and Nursing Time 

  • Stop Losing 24% of patients after first failed cycles

  • Predict higher live birth rates for 26% of patients:

Large Clinics Paying ~$500k/Year For Data Solutions, Still Losing ~60% of Patients After Two Failed IVF Cycles 

Fertility clinics investing in multiple data solutions are facing an unsustainable financial burden. A clinic seeing 10,000 patients per year typically pays $400K–$500K annually for separate data solutions like Snowflake and PowerBI. Managing multiple vendors adds a significant operational overhead—what Cercle AI calls a “vendor management tax.”

Meanwhile, patient churn remains a critical issue:

This means clinics are not only losing revenue but also missing opportunities to provide better patient outcomes simply because data remains fragmented and underutilized.

US Fertility Addresses Data Chaos, Utilizes AI Platform, Cercle 

AI-driven solutions are stepping in to solve these inefficiencies by consolidating and structuring clinic data into a single source of truth. Cercle AI has developed technology to unlock the potential of unstructured data, providing predictive analytics for live birth probability, embryo grading, and automation of key administrative workflows.

"Analyzing raw data for actionable insights is labor-intensive and costly," said Dr. Eduardo Hariton, VP of Strategic Initiatives at US Fertility. "Cercle’s AI platform enables us to extract these insights more efficiently and at scale, leading to both better outcomes for our business and a better experience for our patients."

The benefits of AI-driven unification include:

  • Eliminating redundant vendor costs: Consolidate multiple data platforms into one AI-powered system.

  • Increasing patient conversion: AI-driven predictions improve treatment planning and reduce patient dropout.

  • Freeing up clinical teams: Automation reduces manual data entry and administrative burden, allowing staff to focus on patient care.

  • Driving research efficiency: Predictive analytics accelerate clinical research and decision-making.

Data Company Claims 10x ROI at Fraction of Traditional Cost 

With clinics spending millions annually on fragmented data solutions, AI-driven platform, Cercle offers an alternative—a 10x return on investment at just a fraction of traditional costs.

Cercle says the efficiency gain is further evidenced by productivity increases among IT teams, who report at least a 30% improvement in workflow optimization after implementation.
