The expanding role of AI in IVF

Is there a growing role of AI in IVF, which research shows that there is approximately 1 in 32 babies in the UK now born following fertility treatment.

Some of the points discussed here are:

• AI in IVF – How machine learning supports embryo evaluation, gamete assessment, and laboratory efficiency alongside clinical expertise.
• Why patients are forced to look overseas – Nearly 70% of local areas in England fund only one NHS IVF cycle for eligible women under 40, despite NICE guidance recommending three.
• What defines a strong IVF lab – Precision standards, quality controls, and supportive technologies.
