Engineers have developed AI technology that accurately assesses the quality of live sperm in seconds, removing the need for invasive procedures that compromise sperm viability in IVF treatments.
Current clinical practices to evaluate sperm morphology require human analysis and chemical staining of the sperm cells which can cause damage. But this new method, from Monash University’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in collaboration with Monash IVF, works on live, unstained sperm, preserving their viability.
The newly published study in Advanced Intelligent Systems, found the AI model could analyze sperm imaging with over 93% accuracy in just a few seconds.
Dr. Reza Nosrati said the technology could pave the way for standardized sperm selection through automation in IVF clinical settings.
