Cristina Hickman: The Next Era of Fertility Care – AI, Access, and Empathy
Dr Cristina Hickman, Founder and Consultant Clinical Embryologist at Avenues, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Looking forward to welcoming you all to the 3rd World AIFertility Conference in Cascais in September 2026.
Congratulations to everyone with accepted abstracts. The quality and depth of submissions this year has been exceptional, and we are excited to showcase your work.
This is not just another conference.
It is the only meeting bringing together venture capital investors, clinicians, embryologists, clinical scientists, research scientists, data scientists, engineers, inventors, founders, CEOs, politicians and regulators, all in the same room, focused on the same challenge.
No silos. No parallel conversations. Just a genuinely multidisciplinary approach to one shared question:
How do we maximise the benefits of AI for all patients in fertility care?
This is where ideas meet implementation.
Where innovation meets responsibility.
And where the future of fertility care is being shaped.
Cascais. 25-27 September 2026.”
Sergei Gorlovetsky, Co-Founder at Fertiligent AI, shared Dr Cristina Hickman’s post, adding:
“Honored to be speaking at the 3rd World AIFertility Conference in Cascais this September. Grateful to be included among leaders shaping the future of fertility care through AI.
Special thanks to Dr Cristina Hickman for bringing together such a thoughtful and multidisciplinary group. Creating a space where clinicians, scientists, founders, investors, and policymakers can have one serious conversation around patient impact is rare—and deeply needed.
I’ll be speaking on Implementing AI Copilots and Agents with Patient-Facing Avatar (check it out) — sharing practical lessons from building AI that supports both clinics and patients in real-world fertility care settings.
The real opportunity isn’t just smarter tools—it’s better access, less burnout for clinics, and a more supported journey for patients.
Looking forward to contributing to the discussion and meeting everyone in Cascais.”
