IBEC researchers develop new technology for assisted reproduction that will reduce time to pregnancy
A new technique developed at the Institute for Bioengineering for Catalonia (IBEC) makes it possible to classify the quality of embryos faster and twice as accurately as expert embryologists. The technology, called “METAPHOR”, uses imaging and artificial intelligence to analyse the metabolism of embryos and oocytes. METAPHOR promises to drastically reduce the time and treatment cycles needed to achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilisation, minimising the emotional and financial burden on patients.
