The maternal health benchmark for high risk pregnancy
We're publishing a maternal health benchmark so every organization working to change women's health outcomes can measure their impact, and we can close the gaps together.
why now?
The Data Infrastructure in Women's Health is breaking down
The data infrastructure women’s health depends on is breaking down. Two gaps appeared in 2025 and have made it harder to measure what's changing in women's health:
PRAMS Data Gap

PRAMS Data Gap
The CDC's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) was long the gold standard for maternal and infant health data. PRAMS tracked risk factors, prenatal care, and outcomes across hundreds of thousands of pregnancies every year. Data collection paused in 2025. The gap it left hasn't been filled.
CDC & HHS Data Gap

CDC / HHS Data Removal
Between January and February 2025, 203 public health datasets were removed from the CDC and HHS. The cuts concentrated in racial, ethnic, and gender identity health variables — the exact categories where disparities in maternal outcomes are largest, least understood, and most in need of ongoing measurement. The data that was hardest to collect is now the hardest to find.
Without behavioral benchmarks, clinical outcomes become harder to measure.
What We’re Publishing
Behavioral data across more than 1,000 pregnancies.
For most pregnancy health behaviors, no population-level baseline exists. Existing studies focus on behaviors within sub-populations or when using an intervention to target a specific behavior — not how people with private insurance actually behave.

Any digital health company, health plan, consultant or researcher can compare their data to the benchmark for free.
About MCRI
MCRI is Maven's clinical research division. We exist to advance women's and family health through peer-reviewed research, outcome measurement, and — now — public data contribution. Our research draws on outcomes data from 28M+ covered lives across 2,300+ employer clients, validated in 40+ peer-reviewed studies and 8 independent claims-based analyses, and conducted under IRB oversight to ensure rigor and protect participant privacy. This benchmark is our first public dataset. It won't be the last.
