NCT ID NCT05483985

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a device called the Alife Hera System, which uses a computer algorithm to score embryos based on images and patient information. The goal was to see if using this score alongside standard methods helps doctors choose the embryo most likely to result in a pregnancy. The study involved 444 women undergoing IVF, and compared pregnancy rates when the device was used versus standard selection alone.
