AI START-UP TO APPLY ITS TECH TO IMPROVE IVF OUTCOMES

START-UP Life Whisperer will partner with the Monash IVF Group (ASX: MVF) and its subsidiary Repromed to apply its artificial intelligence tech in the selection of healthy embryos.

The agreement will give Life Whisperer access to thousands of images and embryologist expertise to apply Life Whisperer's AI-driven technology for non-invasive embryo image analysis and embryo selection.

Professor Michelle Lane, Science and Innovation Manager at Monash IVF, says the ultimate goal is to improve outcomes for IVF couples.

"The technology, when scientifically validated, will assist our scientists to select viable embryos for implantation, and ultimately increase birth outcomes for our patients," says Lane.

Repromed General Manager, Dr Hamish Hamilton, says the partnership will give patients a higher chance of being able to conceive via IVF.

"Repromed is always innovating and using cutting edge technologies that are evidence based to ensure we provide our patients the greatest chance of successfully having children," says Hamilton.

Life Whisperer was co-founded by Dr Jonathan Hall, Dr Michelle Perugini, and Dr Don Perugini, in 2016 with aims to improve the outcomes of IVF treatment. Read more
