Researchers describe how AI helped infertile couple conceive after trying for 19 years

New Delhi, Nov 3 (PTI) An artificial intelligence algorithm scanned 25 lakh images of a semen sample for over two hours to identify two viable sperm cells, enabling a couple to conceive after 19 years, according to an article published in The Lancet journal.

The couple, a 39-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman in the US, had undergone multiple in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles, procedures that involved a manual searching for sperm and two surgical procedures to extract sperm.
