The AI That Outperformed the Doctor | Kirsten Karchmer, Founder & CEO, Conceivable Technologies | Ep. 225
from Localization Fireside Chat · host Kirsten Karchmer
97% of couples are priced out of fertility treatment. One IVF cycle costs the equivalent of a year's salary. And most of what women are told about their reproductive health is incomplete at best. Kirsten Karchmer spent 20 years in the clinic helping over 10,000 women. Then she built an AI platform that outperformed her own clinical results by 6% — increasing the likelihood of conception by 260%, at one thousandth the cost of IVF. In this episode, Robin Ayoub sits down with Kirsten Karchmer, Founder and CEO of Conceivable Technologies, to unpack the fertility crisis no one is talking about, why women's health remains largely unsolved, and how a clinician-turned-founder is using AI to change that. What you will hear in this conversation: — Why CrossFit reduces pregnancy likelihood by 50% in women — How 60% of 16,000 women surveyed had energy levels too low to support conception — The menstrual cycle data hiding in plain sight every single month — Why IVF keeps getting more expensive while every other technology gets cheaper — How an AI beat a world-class clinician in a head-to-head clinical pilot — What Kirsten means when she says nothing in women's health is currently being done right This is one of the most important conversations we have had on this channel. Women's health is not a solved problem. This episode is the wake-up call.

What this episode covers
Kirsten Karchmer is a health tech pioneer who spent 20 years helping over 10,000 women with fertility challenges before building an AI platform that outperformed her own clinical results by 6%. In this conversation, she unpacks why 97% of couples are priced out of fertility treatment, how modern lifestyle choices — from CrossFit to hustle culture to beauty products — are silently destroying reproductive health, and why nothing in women's health is truly solved. She also shares how her AI, Conceivable, achieved a 260% increase in conception likelihood at one thousandth the cost of IVF, and what it took to go from clinician to founder. A conversation every woman — and every person who loves one — needs to hear.
