According to the Cleveland Clinic, 10 percent of all males in the US seeking to conceive are infertile.
Now, scientists at the University of Technology Sydney have developed an artificial intelligence tool called SpermSearch that can quickly and accurately identify sperm in severely infertile men.ICSI treatment and conventional methods
Embryologists have to manually extract the sperm from the samples to fertilize the egg. This process can take up to six hours, affecting the embryologist’s ability to identify sperm because of mental and physical exhaustion.The team developed SpermSearch using a systematic methodology. They collected thousands of microscope photos featuring sperm, cells, and other debris. This served as the training data for their AI algorithm.
To test the AI tool, the team collected testicular tissue samples from seven patients diagnosed with NOA who had previously undergone surgical sperm removal. The AI algorithm and an experienced embryologist simultaneously examined the sperm samples. The identification performed by the embryologist served as the benchmark for comparison and was considered 100 percent accurate.
The algorithm was able to identify 611 sperm compared to the embryologist, who only found 560. Moreover, the AI tool demonstrated greater accuracy, finding 60 more sperm and being five percent more precise per viewable droplet area than the embryologist.
