Abstract:
The emergence of telehealth including telemedicine, at-home testing, and mobile health applications has enabled patients to self-manage their reproductive care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reproduction is rapidly changing and embracing deeptech initiatives that can improve outcomes and facilitate personalized fertility solutions in the near future. This so-called DIY IVF informed by deeptech and moderated by femtech not only holds a tremendous amount of promise, but also challenges and possible pitfalls. This review discusses the current status of deeptech and femtech for IVF care in a post-Roe v. Wade environment.
