AIVF’s Post

Are you interested in understanding more about unexplained infertility? Maybe you even attended our live Journal Club session at ESHRE last year? Either way, we’ve got just the thing for you: our report on unexplained infertility is out in Human Reproduction!

AI did my Friend pregnant? 😑 😑😑 🙄 Do you want to know the full story??? Then read 🤖 to know..... AI is also being used to develop new fertility treatments. For example, AI-powered microscopes can select the healthiest sperm for in vitro fertilization (IVF). And AI-powered algorithms can be used to design custom ovarian stimulation protocols for IVF patients. AI is still in its early stages of development in the field of reproductive medicine. 🏥 Still, it has the potential to revolutionize the way that we treat infertility and help people get pregnant. So, Do you also want this to happen??? 🙈 🙈 🙈 #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #FutureofHealthcare #FertilityTreatment #IVF #ReproductiveMedicine #AIforGood #AIforHealth #TechforGood #MedTech #DigitalHealth #Innovation #Science #Technology https://lnkd.in/dxDkpURt

On February 16th, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) should be considered children. Since then, many IVF clinics have halted their services, fearing legal repercussions. This case was brought by three couples who successfully conceived and gave birth through IVF. Their additional frozen embryos were destroyed when a patient entered the fertility clinic's cryo-preservation unit and “grabbed some of the embryos.” With the new ruling, they can now pursue a wrongful death lawsuit for the loss of the embryos. To learn more about the case and potential consequences, check out this article and podcast episode from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: https://lnkd.in/eSBqWemM #OBOSToday #OurBodiesOurselves #InTheNews #IVF #InVitroFertilization #AlabamaRuling

In this mouse model study, IVF exposure not only shows a direct effect on the metabolic health of male offspring, but also significant intergenerational effects. Miaomiao Ban and team at National Research Center for Assisted Reproductive Technology and Reproductive Genetics, Shandong, shows how hepatic fat accumulation was more likely in response to the metabolic consequences of high-fat overfeeding in IVF F2 offspring, and recommend that the metabolic health of the IVF offspring and their descendants should be regularly monitored for the early prevention of metabolically related diseases.

I agree this is a great mental gymnastics to address the needs and begin a discussion. I also understand that change often needs to be gradual. Many people are afraid, uncomfortable with radical changes (despite ‘radical’ originating from ‘roots,’ addressing root problems). I noticed a contradiction in the consensus. On one hand, it’s established that hysterectomies and surgeries by OBGYNs are more technically challenging than egg retrievals. Yet, the consensus (assuming some authors may have dissented) concluded: ‘Reproductive Endocrinologists (REIs) should perform transvaginal oocyte retrievals and embryo transfers, and this committee does not support non-REI providers performing these procedures.’ I commend and support the committee’s efforts to maintain Board Certified REIs at the top and set the rules in our field. However, I respectfully disagree with the assertion that properly trained OBGYNs cannot safely and effectively perform egg retrievals and embryo transfers. OBGYNs already perform transvaginal ovarian cyst aspirations, IUIs, and insertions of IUDs. Therefore, I fail to see the logic behind the committee's conclusion that prevents OBGYNs from assisting us more in fulfilling society's needs.

Exciting News!🚀 We're thrilled to announce a breakthrough in reproductive science! Our team has developed a state-of-the-art embryo classification model that accurately determines embryo viability. For couples in IVF and fertility treatments, where embryo selection is crucial, our AI model replaces subjective assessments with objectivity and precision. 💡 How does it work? Our model employs deep learning to analyze various embryo attributes, making predictions with remarkable accuracy. This improves the chances of selecting the most viable embryos for implantation, ultimately enhancing the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy. This project is a collaborative effort, combining the expertise of our dedicated team in AI and reproductive medicine. We're incredibly proud of the potential positive impact this technology can have on countless lives. 🙌🌟 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/dzzrD9B9 #AiSPRY #AI #ReproductiveMedicine #IVF #EmbryoClassification #FertilityJourney #Innovation #HealthcareTech

Totally amazed by the awesome research shared at the IVF Worldwide Online Congress! The birth of a monkey using frozen testicular tissue represents a monumental leap forward in reproductive technology. 🤩 This innovative approach demonstrates the viability and effectiveness of preserving and utilizing frozen tissue for fertility purposes. By successfully leveraging frozen testicular tissue, researchers have opened new doors for addressing male infertility and expanding options for assisted reproduction. I love research! 🧫🔬 #weekendselfupgrade #fertilitypreservation
