An American couple had been trying to have a child for almost two decades, that is, 20 years. But they were unsuccessful. The couple even tried to have a child through in vitro fertilization (IVF). 15 attempts failed. Even the advice of various doctors did not work. Finally, good news through AI's Milo. Rosie got pregnant with the help of artificial intelligence! Such an incident has been responded to all over the world.
How did this miracle happen? Rosie and her husband had practically broken down mentally after 20 years of trying. At that time, through a community program, they were reminded of Dr. Zav Williams, a fertility specialist at Columbia University. Dr. Zev, along with his team, had been researching whether AI could play a role in the pregnancy process for five years. Finally, Rosie was able to conceive with the help of the artificial intelligence fertility tool they created. The name of this fertility tool is STAR (Smart Track and Recovery). This tool is believed to play a major role in eliminating infertility. Many couples are seeing a ray of hope as a result. Rosie is said to have conceived for the first time using this STAR technology in March 2025.
STAR is a device that finds viable sperm from a man's semen.
1. This microfluidic chip separates all the components in the semen.
2. The high-speed image system takes millions of images through microscopic frames.
3. The machine learning algorithm examines all the images and quickly identifies viable sperm.
This tool called STAR completes this process very quickly. It also monitors the fact that the viable sperm is not damaged in any way. For example, in a lab where technicians can't find any viable sperm in a semen sample for two days, Star Tool can identify at least 44 sperm per hour.
The problem this couple had was that the husband's semen was not finding viable sperm. But Star Tool successfully found and labeled the viable sperm.
