Overview
- Maven Clinic launched the Maven Clinical Research Institute to study the impact of digital health on women and families.
- The launch came with Maven’s inaugural Clinical Impact Report on how virtual care affects outcomes for underserved women and families.
- Maven says it has produced more than 40 peer-reviewed publications.
The News
New York-based Maven, a virtual clinic for women’s and family health, announced the Institute in January 2026. Maven says it holds the largest public evidence base on the impact of virtual care in this area.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Neel Shah said the promise of digital care has raced ahead of the proof, and the Institute aims to hold digital health for women and families to the same scientific standards as other areas of medicine.
Industry Perspective
Employers and health plans increasingly demand outcome and cost evidence before renewing digital health contracts. Vendors that invest in peer-reviewed research and standard measures may gain an edge as buyers consolidate benefits.
Strategic Impact
The Institute strengthens Maven’s position with employers that require evidence, though company-run research will need independent replication to carry full weight.
