Summary
This study introduces an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for in vitro fertilization (IVF) to predict treatment outcomes. The system aids clinicians in personalizing care for subfertile couples, enhancing assisted reproduction success rates.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Subfertility affects numerous couples worldwide, necessitating advanced reproductive technologies.
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates can be improved through personalized treatment strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a predictive model for in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.
- To assist clinicians in tailoring personalized treatment plans for subfertile couples.
- To enhance the overall success rates of assisted reproduction.
Main Methods:
- Construction of an enhanced web-based system utilizing a novel Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architecture.
- Integration of clinical and bibliographical standards for input and output parameters.
- Training of the ANN model by an expert in an IVF setting using a comprehensive dataset.
Main Results:
- The developed system functions as an information technology platform for IVF units.
- It rapidly and automatically recalls and evaluates extensive data.
- Provides objective predictions for artificial reproductive cycle outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are highly suitable for providing fertility specialists with numerical estimates.
- ANNs facilitate the personalization of healthcare in reproductive medicine.
- The model supports the adaptation of treatment courses based on specific patient indications.

In Vitro Fertilization
1.3K
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Infertility in Females
5.0K
Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.
