iDAScore is a significant improvement on any other system used so far in human embryology after being tested and based on multi-center studies (115.000 embryos from 18 different clinics around the world) and provides fully automated selection processes and evaluations for each embryo of patients’ cohort eliminating the subjective assessments with completely objective analysis.
Further studies since then, have shown that the highest grade embryos in the automated selection process give the highest probability of successful implantation and positive fetal heart beat.
Recently, a new version of iDAScore has been installed in IVF Athens Center (iDA Score version 2.0) based on the same artificial intelligence technology, derived from more data (>181.000 embryos), more IVF units and after well-proven results (birth rates). It provides a fully automated selection process and evaluation for every fertilized oocyte (embryo) and at more stages of development (day 2, 3 or 5/6).
The advantages of the installed iDA Score version 2.0, are:
- The availability of a score at any time from day 2 (at least 39 h post fertilization), day 3 ( 72 h p.f.) or until days 5/6 (108 -148 h p.f.).
- The results are comparable between days, which means that a day 2 embryo with a high score has the same implantation probability regardless the day of embryo transfer and embryos with similar scores have the same implantation probability regardless the day of evaluation.
What are the potential benefits for patients?
The benefit is the selection of the embryo with the highest implantation so that women undergoing IVF can conceive more quickly with the lower cost – effective treatment and the less stress/anxiety on them and their families.
Researchers have proven that a high iDA Score is associated with
- increasing rate of interest
- low rate of 1st and 2nd trimester abortions
- increasing percentage of euploid fetuses
- rapid rates of cell divisions
- a better morphological picture of the fetuses (isomegaxth fetuses, absence of fetuses cell cultures)
- absence of division facts (e.g. inability to divide into 3 and 5 kftaras) which they live negatively and reduce the risk of cancer
