    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for fully automated screening for aneuploidy in a human embryo. An image of the embryo is obtained at an associated imager and provided to a neural network to generate a first clinical parameter. A set of at least one parameter representing one of biometric parameters of one of a patient receiving the embryo, an egg utilized to produce the human embryo, a sperm used to create the embryo, a sperm donor who provided sperm used to create the embryo, and an egg donor who provided the egg is retrieved, and a second clinical parameter is generated from the set of at least one parameter at a predictive model. A composite parameter, representing a likelihood of aneuploidy in the embryo, is generated from the first clinical parameter and the second clinical parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230237660
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for medical image classification of images from varying sources. A set of microscopic medical images are acquired, and a first neural network module configured to reduce each of the set of microscopic medical images to a feature representation is generated. The first neural network module, a second neural network module, and a third neural network module are trained on at least a subset of the set of microscopic medical images. The second neural network module is trained to receive feature representation associated with an image of the microscopic images and classify the image into one of a first plurality of output classes. The third neural network module is trained to receive the feature representation, classify the image into one of a second plurality of output classes based on the feature representation, and provide feedback to the first neural network module.

  • Patent number: 11519877
    Abstract: Devices and methods for performing dielectrophoresis are described. The devices contain sample channel which is separated by physical barriers from electrode channels which receive electrodes. The devices and methods may be used for the separation and analysis of particles in solution, including the separation and isolation of cells of a specific type. As the electrodes do not make contact with the sample, electrode fouling is avoided and sample integrity is better maintained.
