Predicting IVF Pregnancy Outcome and Analyzing its Cost Factors: An Artificial Intelligence Approach

Infertility treatment methods that are used today have a limited (or little) success rate, and patients bear a lot of financial and emotional burden to get pregnant. Recently, artificial intelligence has been proposed to evaluate gametes better and choose the best embryo for transfer to the uterus. This study investigated the financial benefit of using artificial intelligence for infertility treatment.

We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of AI in IVF, comparing AI model performance with standard methods and introducing a novel method to measure financial benefits in healthcare resource allocation.

Achieving 75% accuracy, AI significantly outperformed standard methods, reducing the likelihood of discarding viable embryos. This technology streamlines the IVF process, leading to shorter treatment cycles and a cost reduction of 1500 dollars per cycle.

The integration of AI in IVF represents a paradigm shift, improving success rates, cost-efficiency, and patient experiences. Further research and adoption of AI-driven embryo selection can revolutionize infertility treatments, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems.
