Surgo Health Launches EchoHER™: The First AI Platform to Decode the 'Why' Behind Women’s Health

Selected as a CGI Commitment to Action, EchoHER uses responsible AI to model risk and remove barriers in maternal, reproductive, and mental health.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Surgo Health, a public benefit corporation pioneering human-centered AI for healthcare, today announced the launch of EchoHER™, a first-of-its-kind AI-powered platform built to revolutionize women’s health by decoding the ‘why’ behind how women make critical health decisions and translating those insights into action. The platform debuted at the 2025 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, where it was selected as a CGI Commitment to Action.

Despite decades of progress, women continue to face stark disparities in diagnosis, treatment adherence, and participation in clinical trials. Much of this stems from a missing layer in traditional healthcare data: the behavioral and contextual factors such as beliefs, access, environment that shape real-world health outcomes.

“EchoHER is the data infrastructure women’s health has been waiting for,” said Dr. Sema Sgaier, CEO and Co-Founder of Surgo Health. “We are moving beyond the ‘what’ of health data to uncover the ‘why’—why women skip appointments, delay screenings, or drop out of clinical trials. Understanding those drivers is the key to transforming outcomes.”

EchoHER integrates clinical, social, and behavioral data to reflect the full range of factors shaping women’s health. The platform uses social and behavioral health data, recognizing that outcomes are influenced not only by medical care but also by geography, access, and beliefs. By generating condition-specific risk models, EchoHER provides health care providers, researchers, and policymakers with the breadth and depth of insight needed to deliver whole-person care.

A New Lens on Women’s Health
EchoHER builds comprehensive behavioral health profiles for more than 130 million U.S. women, integrating data from large-scale surveys, responsible machine learning, and privacy-preserving linkages to clinical datasets. The platform enables biopharma, healthcare providers, insurers, and public health agencies to:

* Predict and prevent risk through early identification of behavioral and environmental barriers.
* Improve clinical trial recruitment and retention with hyper-personalized outreach.
* Design tailored interventions across key conditions such as cardiovascular disease, reproductive health, mental well-being, and cancers affecting women.
* Provide researchers with data-backed insights on upstream factors impacting women’s health outcomes.
* Support philanthropic organizations to better target resources and interventions towards the most vulnerable populations.

What Makes EchoHER Different
Unlike existing solutions that rely solely on claims, EHRs, or demographics, EchoHER integrates behavioral, attitudinal, and contextual intelligence, the missing variables that drive 60–80% of health outcomes.

* Dynamic & Personalized: AI-driven, survey-based models generate individualized insights at scale.
* Scalable & Impactful: Data linkages at the individual level enhance interventions across care delivery, clinical research, and public health initiatives.
* Tailored to Women: Designed specifically to address the drivers behind gendered disparities in health.

Proven Real-World Impact
Surgo Health’s focus on the ‘why’ behind health behaviors and novel data has already demonstrated measurable success:
· Clinical Trials: Improved recruitment and diversity, increasing trial enrollment by 30. .
· Preventive Care: Personalized, AI-driven insights increased contraceptive uptake by 298% in a randomized controlled trial.
· Public Health: Behavioral insights informed $2.25B in CDC funding decisions during COVID-19 response effort.

Join the Movement
Surgo Health is inviting partners across pharma, healthcare systems, insurers, philanthropy, and advocacy to collaborate in scaling EchoHER’s impact.

“This is not just another analytics tool,” Dr. Sgaier added. “It is the beginning of a movement to bring behavioral intelligence and equity into the core of women’s health.”
