It is a new type of incubator that allows the embryologist to monitor embryo cell divisions while the embryos are still in the incubator. The incubator has a built-in camera that can take pictures of the embryos at timed intervals. Unlike traditional incubators, which require periodic removal of embryos for assessment, the embryoscope captures real-time images at regular intervals without disturbing the embryos’ environment.
IVF clinic success rates have significantly improved since the use of embryoscope technology, with increasing rates of live births, fewer miscarriages, and higher implantation rates. In addition to experiencing fewer embryo transfers and shorter treatment times overall, patients undergoing IVF with embryoscope technology also benefit from increased convenience and decreased emotional stress.
