Doctors at Columbia University have successfully helped a couple conceive after 18 years of infertility using an artificial intelligence system called STAR (Sperm Tracking and Recovery). The couple, who had undergone multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and fertility treatments worldwide without success, benefited from the AI technology that non-invasively detected viable sperm in the husband, who was diagnosed with severe male infertility, including azoospermia. This breakthrough marks the first pregnancy achieved with the assistance of AI in fertility treatment and offers new hope for men facing similar reproductive challenges. The STAR system's ability to identify hidden sperm that were previously undetectable by conventional methods demonstrates the potential of AI to transform fertility care and improve outcomes for couples struggling with infertility.
