Quotes:
“We showed that if you use AI as a tool for the embryologist – [it] increased the success rates – The decision-making is faster, more accurate. You freeze less embryos because each embryo you freeze is accurate – It changes the way the lab works and it optimizes everything.” — Daniella Gilboa
“The way you interact with the patient and consult the journey ahead is changing. It’s more accurate. It allows you to make more informed decisions. This is the right way of doing medicine. It needs to be data-driven rather than subjective human analysis.” — Daniella Gilboa
“AIVF needs to become the standard of care.” — Daniella Gilboa
