Summary
In-Vitro Fertilization is the primary treatment of infertility, with ~2.5 million cycles performed annually. Success rates are, however, declining partly due to waiting 5 days to select the best embryo to transfer to the woman. A rapid (day 1) indicator of embryo viability will be developed though sophisticated mathematical modelling, and AI, informed by the analysis of experimental data on calcium signalling in fertilising eggs and their movements. The proposed diagnostic tool has the potential to significantly improve IVF treatments
