AI Tools Aid IVF Embryo Selection
Doctors are using special cameras and AI to help pick the best embryos for IVF.
This can make it more likely for parents to have a healthy baby and reduce the number of tries needed.
The AI looks at things like the shape and growth of the embryos.
Some people are worried about using AI to make such important decisions, but others say it's a big help.
The AI doesn't change the embryos, it just helps doctors choose the best ones.
This can make the whole process less stressful and more successful for parents.
AI tools help select the best embryos for IVF by analyzing their shape, symmetry, and cell division.
The American Hospital of Paris uses an embryoscope and AI to improve embryo selection and reduce IVF cycles.
AI tools can predict with 70% accuracy that recommended embryos will not have genetic abnormalities.
Experts emphasize that human doctors will still make the final decisions, with AI as an additional tool.
Some bioethicists argue that patients should be informed about AI use and given the option to opt out.
