AI could predict which sperm will lead to a baby
NCT ID NCT07456397
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to analyze sperm samples and predict how likely they are to lead to a successful pregnancy during IVF. Researchers will collect and study 500 semen samples from men undergoing IVF, using AI to look for patterns that predict fertilization and embryo development. No treatment or intervention is given—this is purely an observational study to improve future fertility care.
