Infertility affects one in six couples and has a negative impact on their quality of life. Consequently, specialized assisted reproductive technology like in vitro fertilization (IVF) are much sought after. This expensive medical procedure conventionally relies on the evaluation of in vitro-fertilized eggs or embryos, and selecting the best to improve chances of implantation in the uterus. Embryo selection is challenging as it relies on subjective visual inspection of embryo morphology, making the data highly variable and dependent on physician’s experience.
To address this concern, Dr. Kang Zhang from Wenzhou Medical University, Dr Ling Sun from Guangzhou Women and Children Hospital, along with their collaborators in China, developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system to automate embryo selection and eliminate subjectivity at this crucial stage. This study, published online in the Chinese Medical Journal on July 12, 2024, describes the automated non-invasive system that improves human embryo assessment and selection for IVF purposes.
