Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Artificial Intelligence Finds Rare Sperm For IVF
Men with low sperm counts, so-called azoospermia, have problems fathering children. To correct that problem, researchers at New York’s Columbia University Fertility Center have developed a system to ferret out, capture, and aggregate the rare sperm in a man’s semen sample in order to successfully fertilize an egg.
Their procedure, dubbed STAR, short for Sperm Tracking and Recovery, uses high-powered imaging to take more than 8 million pictures of a semen sample in under an hour. Artificial intelligence then pinpoints rare sperm cells, and a robotic system gently isolates them for use in in-vitro fertilization.
The Columbia team has just reported in The Lancet journal the successful use of STAR to help a couple that tried to conceive for 18 years plus. The system was able to identify just TWO two viable sperm cells in a 3.5 milliliter sample. Those were enough to create two embryos and to initiate a pregnancy.
Fifteen percent of couples unable to get pregnant due to male infertility issues have male partners with so-called azoospermia. STAR could be a game charger for them once larger clinical studies are complete.

Couples struggling with male infertility may have a new hope thanks to a revolutionary AI-powered procedure developed at Columbia University's Fertility Center. The STAR system uses high-powered imaging and artificial intelligence to track and recover rare sperm cells, giving new life to couples who had almost given up on conceiving. With the ability to identify and isolate individual sperm cells, the STAR system has opened doors for those who thought they had no other options.
