Ema, an AI platform focused on women’s health, has announced the completion of its latest funding round, pushing its total funding past $3 million. The Boston-based company has established itself as a leading agentic AI platform dedicated to transforming women’s healthcare delivery and outcomes.
The funding round was led by Emmeline Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on supporting female-led companies, with continued support from existing investors Kubera Venture Capital and Victorum Capital.
The company’s AI platform was developed using a proprietary dataset comprising 10 million interactions between women and physicians discussing health and wellness. This foundation enabled Ema to create specialized AI functionality, including the ability to administer clinically validated assessments, supporting women’s health needs from their first period through post-menopause.
La Keisha Landrum Pierre, Managing Partner at Emmeline Ventures, emphasized the strategic importance of the investment: “We invested in Ema because they are redefining women’s health with a powerful combination of empathy and technology. Ema goes beyond generative AI, offering a trusted partner that understands women’s unique needs. By harnessing clinically sound AI, Ema empowers women (and their families) along with their clinical providers to achieve better outcomes, reshaping how care is delivered for a healthier, happier, and more empowered future.”
The platform has demonstrated strong market validation, generating over $1 million in contract value within its first six months of operation. This latest funding round precedes Ema’s anticipated next round and will support continued AI innovation and enterprise client support, including existing partnerships with companies like PatientsLikeMe and Willow.
Amanda Ducach, CEO of Ema, commented: “Ema has proven its ability to significantly advance women’s health. As an example, in perinatal mental health conversations, an impressive 75% of women who took the EPDS depression assessment through Ema sought professional mental health support by booking appointments. Moreover, 34% of women engaging with Ema during the campaign displayed signs of depression, highlighting the critical need for accessible mental health resources. Our platform’s ability to foster meaningful engagement and connect women to care underscores its transformative impact in addressing mental health challenges on a broad scale.”
