Automated Sperm Selection

"The software measures both morphology and motility similar to an embryologist but provides a more accurate and consistent measure of sperm characteristics. Embryologists use their experience to qualitatively judge if an individual sperm is suitable for injection based on morphology and motility. Similarly, the software follows a two-step process: firstly, a computer vision algorithm measures characteristics of all sperm in a given field, including motility and morphology; secondly, the software algorithm then uses a set of quantitative criteria to categorize and identify the most developmentally competent sperm with normal characteristics. All the characteristics that the software calculate are defined by the WHO guidelines, and the software does not propose or define new parameters."
