As we start the new year and continue building the automated future of IVF at Conceivable Life Sciences and as the healthcare world convenes at #JPM2024, I am reflecting on my conference highlight of 2023, Innovations in Reproductive Medicine 2030: Technologies in IVF, hosted by the Carlos Simon Foundation. I spent 3 days listening to some of the world’s most renowned thought leaders as they spoke about the future of IVF Technologies. Some key highlights: ✨Carlos Simón presented work from their stealth Premium Fertility, which is automating embryo transfer with a direct embryo transfer system incorporating live imaging, robotics, AI and microfluidics... ‘Don’t throw your embryos into a black box’ - or ‘One euploid embryo should result in one live birth’ ✨Charles Boorman of Harvard IVF gave an overview of how AI is embedded in every aspect of their lab workflow, from semen morphology grading to prediction of embryo implantation potential, and for assisting with cryopreservation decisions. ✨Jake Anderson Bialis of FertilityIQ shared data from a survey of one million women from the Fertility IQ community showed that up to 50% of patients found virtual consultations helpful, with most patients having to wait up to 5 weeks after a failed IVF cycle to see a doctor in person. He concluded that the combination care model of in-person and virtual care is essential. “Personal connection will still be critical, given success-rates are a ‘coin-flip’on the first IVF cycle.” Carlos Simón reflected on the future role of the multidisciplinary IVF Team in the automated IVF laboratory. IVF delivered more efficiently with digital tools, home monitoring and testing, and in automated laboratories will not only improve success rates but will grant clinicians more time to make better-informed decisions. The Fertility team will need to ‘re-invent’ in order to meet the demands of the millions of patients who will benefit from a technology-driven, and automated lower cost service. Simón’s summary on the future of IVF he envisions aligns with the model we are building at Conceivable. Our fully automated lab will create a better way of treating infertility, serving millions within the community who have been under-served for far too long.

Absolutely agree, Stephanie. Automation is, without a doubt, the future of IVF. It's the answer to so many challenges presented by current IVF models, and one that is long overdue. Looking ahead to 2024 with you, we're excited for all the breakthroughs we will make together as we continue to build Conceivable's fully automated IVF lab
