AI embryo selector tested in IVF study
NCT ID NCT07383480
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an artificial intelligence tool called EMA to see if it can rank embryos better than traditional methods for IVF. Researchers looked at data from 333 people who had IVF between 2022 and 2023. The goal was to see if the AI's scores matched up with expert embryologist assessments and could predict which embryos would lead to a pregnancy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- artificial intelligence-based embryo selection tool (EMA by AiVF)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help doctors choose the best embryos for IVF, potentially increasing the chance of a successful pregnancy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove the AI directly improves outcomes. The AI may not work better than current methods in real-world settings.
