Exposure of the female reproductive tract to either seminal plasma or fluid component of the ejaculate is beneficial to achieving successful embryo implantation and normal embryo development. But whether the “physical” component of sexual intercourse during the peri-transfer period have any influence on frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) pregnancy outcomes is not clear. We conducted a...Read More
High childhood BMI is strongly associated with obesity and cardiometabolic disease and mortality in adulthood. Children conceived after FET have a higher risk of being born large for gestational age (LGA) than children conceived after NC. It is well-documented that being born LGA is associated with an increased risk of obesity in childhood, and it...Read More
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning algorithms into medical care has been the focus of development over the last decade, particularly in the field of assisted reproductive technologies and in vitro fertilization (IVF). With embryo morphology the cornerstone of clinical decision making for IVF, the field of IVF is highly reliant on...Read More
In a recent Fertility and Sterility review, researchers summarize the available evidence on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in sperm selection. The success rates of ART have remained relatively low globally due to the lack of proper sperm selection. Despite technological advancements, the final sperm selection is primarily performed manually by an embryologist following...Read More
The development of assisted reproductive technology has allowed offspring in infertile couples, and specifically, allowed infertile men to conceive through Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Despite the proven efficacy of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and ICSI, many factors can influence its success. In this review we present an analysis on the effect of Female age, Ovarian...Read More
Several studies show reductions in some seminal parameters in aged men and describe them as a consequence of many age-dependent changes in male organisms. This study aims to evaluate the impact of age on seminal parameters, particularly the DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and outcomes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36897559/Read More
Sperm provides half of the DNA required to fertilize an egg. If the DNA in sperm is damaged, it may be unable to fertilize the egg, or if fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo may fail to progress normally or properly implant into the uterine lining. Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a measurement used to...Read More
Varicocele repair is recommended in the presence of a clinical varicocele together with at least one abnormal semen parameter, and male infertility. Unfortunately, up to 50% of men who meet criteria for repair will not see meaningful benefit in outcomes despite successful treatment. We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict which men with...Read More
Is it possible to automate the way sperm is injected in an oocyte and improve ICSI consistency between embryologists? The combination of multidisciplinary teams allows the development of automated processes that can reduce variability in certain IVF procedures, while supervised and assisted by experienced embryologists. It is expected that other laboratory procedures can be automated...Read More
Since the late 1990s, the improved accessibility of biomedical data has hastened the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in reproductive medicine. AI can guide optimal clinical management for infertile couples, improving clinical and patient reported outcomes as well as promoting cost-effectiveness. Previously, AI for artificial reproduction has been applied to gamete selection and for predicting...Read More
The Sperm Tracer
Sperm Tracer is a unique AI technological software that supports fertility experts and embryologists to evaluate, in real-time, the best sperm for ICSI procedures.
Each embryo carries 50% of the genetic information of an oocyte and 50% of a sperm. Every single sperm participating with 50% of the DNA cargo of the embryo, could play a detrimental role for the embryo itself and its quality.
If you believe you are among the pioneers, we may be able to help you reach even higher.
