The couple, who tried to have a child for 18 years, finally created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). A couple who decided to remain unnamed tried several in vitro fertilization (IVF) rounds around the world, but all experiments failed. The reason for their struggle was azoospermia, a rare state where no measurable sperm is found in the sperm of the male partner. Healthy sperm usually contains millions of sperm cells in every milliliter.
After all the other options, the couple approached Columbia University Fertility Center (CUFC), where they decided to try the new technique, CNN reported. Using the star method (monitoring and recovery of sperm), driven by AI, doctors were able to detect hidden sperm in a male partner.
Fertility specialists analyzed sperm sample using the Star system and successfully found hidden sperm cells. These were then used to fertilize the egg through IVF. The woman became the first person to have ever been pregnant with this new technology.
“It took me two days to believe I was actually pregnant,” the woman said. “I still wake up in the morning and I can’t believe whether it’s true or not. I still don’t believe I’m pregnant until I see scanning.”
What is the star method?
The star method was developed for five years Dr. Zevem Williams, director of CUFC, and his team. Scientists were equally surprised when the method worked in practice.
Dr. Williams explained: “The patient provided a sample and highly qualified technicians were looking for two days through this sample to try to find sperm. We did not work. We brought it to the AI star system. We found 44 sperm in one hour.
The stellar system works by placed a sperm sample on a specially designed chip under the microscope. High -performance display is then used to scan the entire sample and capture over eight million images in an hour. AI, trained to identify sperm cells, then searches images and locates sperm.
