It should be noted that neither of the above technologies are currently available for direct clinical use and would require further data and clinical trials prior to approval for routine implementation. Nonetheless, training clinicians or embryologists, alone, to efficiently and accurately perform oocyte recovery, identification of cumulus oocyte complex is a long and fallible process. In compari-son, coupling oocyte recovery and selection with robotics and microscopy with in-built computational vision and/or Al tools to identify cumulus-oocyte complexes promises to aid this process.
