A Couple Tried for 18 Years to Get Pregnant. AI Made It Happen | News Channel 3-12
- An American couple who struggled to conceive for 18 years successfully conceived using AI-assisted STAR technology at Columbia University Fertility Center.
- The couple underwent 15 unsuccessful IVF rounds due to the male partner's rare azoospermia condition, which means no measurable sperm in semen.
- Researchers used the STAR system, developed over five years by Dr. Zev Williams and his team, that scans over eight million images per hour to locate and isolate hidden sperm.
- The STAR method found 44 sperm in one hour from samples where none were initially detected, and three sperm were used to fertilize the wife's egg via IVF, resulting in a healthy pregnancy.
- This breakthrough suggests AI-powered sperm detection could offer new hope for azoospermic patients, although experts caution some men will inevitably have no sperm to find.
