BACKGROUND: Infertility and subfertility affect a significant proportion of humanity. Assisted reproductive technology has been proven capable of alleviating infertility issues. In vitro fertilisation is one such option whose success is highly depend...
Embryo assessment and selection is a critical step in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. Current embryo assessment approaches such as manual microscopy analysis done by embryologists or semi-automated time-lapse imaging systems are highly sub...
Growth in open-source hardware designs combined with the low-cost of high performance optoelectronic and robotics components has supported a resurgence of in-house custom lab equipment development. We describe a low cost (below $700), open-source, fu...
BACKGROUND: Blastocyst morphology is a predictive marker for implantation success of in vitro fertilized human embryos. Morphology grading is therefore commonly used to select the embryo with the highest implantation potential. One of the challenges,...

The analysis of cell mitotic behavior plays important role in many biomedical research and medical diagnostic applications. To improve the accuracy of mitosis detection in automated analysis systems, this paper proposes the sequential saliency guided...
Image-based deep learning systems, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have recently been applied to cell classification, producing impressive results; however, application of CNNs has been confined to classification of the current cell sta...

In this paper, we propose a fully automated learning-based approach for detecting cells in time-lapse phase contrast images. The proposed system combines 2 machine learning approaches to achieve bottom-up image segmentation. We apply pixel-wise class...
Differentiation alters molecular properties of stem and progenitor cells, leading to changes in their shape and movement characteristics. We present a deep neural network that prospectively predicts lineage choice in differentiating primary hematopoi...

OBJECTIVE: To create an artificial intelligence model able to determine the morphokinetic phases of an embryo by utilizing time-lapse imaging (TLI) videos.
STUDY QUESTION: Can more reliable time cut-offs of embryo developmental incompetence be generated by combining time-lapse technology (TLT), artificial intelligence, and preimplantation genetics screening for aneuploidy (PGT-A)?
