Hey friends! We’re excited to share some amazing insights into the world of embryo research and how it could impact fertility treatment. Recently, our center took part in two innovative research studies focusing on the Early Embryo Viability Assessment System (Eeva). This cutting-edge technology is all about assessing embryos at various stages to predict their quality and viability. In total, over 50 patients participated in these studies, and it’s paving the way for some really cool advancements in IVF.
What’s the Scoop on the Eeva System?
Well, it was selected by Auxogyn, Inc. along with just a handful of other centers for some serious testing. The goal is to enhance in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes by helping clinicians select the best embryos for transfer. Using time-lapse video and smart software, Eeva analyzes embryos from day 1 to day 3 of their development.
In the first study, they found that Eeva could predict whether an embryo would reach the blastocyst stage (day 5) with an impressive 85% specificity based on its early growth. This kind of predictive data is a game changer! It gives clinicians a better shot at choosing embryos that are more likely to thrive. “We’re thrilled about the potential of this technology to improve our patients’ success rates,” shared our lab director, Sarah Martinez.
