Introducing artificial intelligence into IVF laboratories: Machines helping to make babies
Most patients undergoing IVF treatment, hoping to have a baby, have several embryos which the embryologist must choose between. Selecting the ‘best’ embryo for transfer remains pivotal to the success of a patient achieving a pregnancy when proceeding with IVF and ensures the fastest time to having a baby. CARE Fertility designed an embryo selection tool involving embryologists identifying key events from thousands of time-lapse images to score an embryo’s potential for live birth outcome. CARE engaged BJSS to explore AI’s potential to transform embryo selection. AI can save time, improve accuracy and repeatability, and is already used in several fields of medicine – why not embryology?
