Ronald Feinberg: AI-Powered STAR System Could Transform Azoospermia Treatment
Ronald Feinberg, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Fertility Care Medical Advisor at Fyrtle, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A very hopeful, and possible Nobel Prize winning fertility breakthrough.
With a big increase in men being testing, the frequent and devastating diagnosis of azoospermia (NO SPERM) is now being challenged via novel combinations of AI scanning to find viable sperm and IVF. It’s called the STAR (Sperm Tracking and Recovery) System, and was developed by the brilliant team at Columbia University Fertility Center, led by Zev Williams.
There are also many, many men diagnosed with severe oligospermia, where identifying reproductively viable sperm is almost as challenging.
This new frontier in male infertility will be gamechanging for diagnosis and future development of new treatment options.”
