AI may spot the embryos most likely to grow
NCT ID NCT06928337
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are collecting images of eggs and embryos from time-lapse incubators to train an AI system called CHLOE. The goal is to see if the AI can accurately predict which embryos will reach the blastocyst stage, a key step in IVF. This study involves women aged 18 and older whose embryos are cultured in a compatible incubator. The findings could help improve embryo selection in fertility treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI evaluation of oocytes inside a time-lapse incubator
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve how clinics select embryos for IVF, potentially increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early data-collection study, not a treatment trial. The AI's predictions need validation and may not improve clinical outcomes.
