Developing an AI tool to predict embryo quality from time‑lapse incubator images

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational protocol collects high‑quality time‑lapse images and related clinical data from eggs and embryos cultured in a connected incubator to train and validate an embryo‑quality AI model. The data will be used for machine‑learning development, verification, and validation, not for direct clinical decision‑making. Professional simulated‑use sessions with embryologists will evaluate the user interface and workflow to ensure correct and easy use of the AI application. The work is developmental and aims to improve future AI‑based tools used in IVF care.
