Timelapse technology is a game-changer in IVF, enabling continuous, non-invasive monitoring of embryo development to enhance selection accuracy and improve pregnancy outcomes. By providing detailed insights into key developmental milestones, it allows embryologists to identify the most viable embryos without disrupting their culture environment, leading to higher success rates and more personalized treatments. ASTEC BIO, renowned for its precision and innovation in technology, is poised to lead this industry with its advanced engineering and focus on integrating artificial intelligence into embryo assessment. The Japanese timelapse systems emphasize reliability, precision, and cutting-edge algorithms, offering unparalleled tools for embryologists to achieve optimal results while setting new global standards in reproductive medicine.

ASTEC has acquired Life Whisperer's AI analysis technology in the field of IVF. With this acquisition, we believe that we can add significant value to the services derived from the existing and new time-lapse incubators that ASTEC will be launching in the near future. While image analysis of embryos using AI is an important element in embryo culture, it is not everything. The core of ASTEC's business is to offer better services to hospitals and patients. We will continue to collaborate with various companies to provide the highest quality incubators and the best services.   Life Whisperer is one of the world leaders in AI analysis for IVF. It predicts the likelihood of pregnancy and euploidy from a single static image of a blastocyst. In very near future, it will also be able to analyze unfertilized eggs. Since the analysis can be performed with microscope images without relying on time-lapse incubators, we believe that this service can be offered as affordably as possible, allowing more laboratories to benefit from AI analysis. https://lnkd.in/gzTXh5k3
