Doctors at Columbia University Fertility Center have achieved the first pregnancy facilitated by an innovative AI system developed to combat azoospermia. This condition results in a lack of detectable sperm, contributing to about 10% of male infertility. Traditional methods were limited to donor sperm, but the new system, known as STAR (Sperm Track and Recovery), uses AI to identify and isolate rare sperm cells within semen samples. Dr. Zev Williams and his team demonstrate how combining AI with fluidic technology can revolutionize fertility treatments and expand family-building options for couples struggling with infertility.
If you can look into a sky that's filled with billions of stars and try to find a new one, that same approach can find that one specific sperm.
There was little doctors could do to address the lack of sperm needed to fertilize an egg, other than using donor sperm.
