Artificial insemination

One step closer to gender equality

This episode presents the first live birth after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using a remote-controlled digital system. The system performs all the microsteps of ICSI automatically or under digital control, and allows for remote monitoring and operation. Research suggests that this technology could lead to automation and standardization of fertility laboratories. The study demonstrated the feasibility of the method by conducting preclinical trials and then a clinical case using donated eggs from a 40-year-old woman. The result of this effort was the birth of a healthy baby, an important step towards the advancement of assisted reproductive technologies. Although there is still a need to improve the autonomy and efficiency of the system, this achievement highlights the potential for transformation in ART methods.
