The Challenge of Personalization in Assisted Reproduction

In the field of reproductive medicine, the ability to personalize treatments is a key factor in improving clinical outcomes. Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is a fundamental process in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), but its effectiveness can be affected by multiple individual variables. Each patient responds differently to hormonal medication, making standardized treatments potentially suboptimal, increasing the likelihood of cycle cancellations, ovarian hyperresponse, or poor oocyte quality.

In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary tool that enables the design of highly personalized ovarian stimulation protocols, optimizing the dosage and timing of medication administration in fertility treatments.

AI and Ovarian Stimulation: A New Era in Reproductive Medicine

The application of AI in assisted reproduction treatments is based on the analysis of large volumes of data obtained from patients undergoing similar processes. Using deep learning algorithms and predictive models, AI can identify patterns that allow precise adjustments in ovarian stimulation protocols, considering factors such as:

  • Patient age and ovarian reserve (measured through biomarkers such as anti-Müllerian hormone - AMH - and antral follicle count - AFC -).

  • Previous ovarian response in past treatments.

  • Hormonal and genetic factors influencing stimulation response.

  • Weight and body mass index (BMI), factors that may influence drug absorption and metabolism.

  • Clinical history with conditions associated with infertility such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) or endometriosis.

The predictive model generated by AI enables real-time dosage and drug type adjustments in ovarian stimulation, ensuring that each patient receives the most suitable treatment for their biological and hormonal profile.

Key Benefits of AI in Treatment Personalization

The use of AI in ovarian stimulation personalization provides multiple benefits for both doctors and patients:

1. Greater Precision and Risk Reduction

One of the main benefits is the ability to adjust dosage to avoid associated risks, such as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), a severe complication that can lead to hospitalization. With AI, it is possible to predict which patients are at higher risk and adjust medication preventively.

2. Optimization of Oocyte Quality

The goal is not only to obtain an adequate number of oocytes but also to ensure high quality. Poorly calibrated stimulation can compromise oocyte maturation, affecting fertilization rates and embryo viability.

3. Reduction in Treatment Duration

Optimizing stimulation protocols shortens the treatment duration, reducing emotional and physical strain on patients.

4. Cost Reduction

By personalizing doses, unnecessary medication administration is avoided, representing significant savings for clinics and patients.

5. Higher Pregnancy Probability

AI improves ovarian response prediction, allowing embryologists to select embryos with the highest implantation potential, increasing pregnancy rates in IVF treatments.

Success Stories and Current Applications

Assisted reproduction centers worldwide are already implementing AI to improve treatment personalization. Clinics like CER Santander have incorporated AI-based analysis tools to optimize ovarian stimulation protocols, achieving better results and a safer experience for patients.

The Future of AI in Assisted Reproduction

As technology advances, AI will not only be key in ovarian stimulation but also integrate with:

  • Advanced genetic analysis to detect potential embryo quality alterations.

  • Automated monitoring systems predicting the best endometrial implantation window.

  • Optimized cryopreservation platforms for high-quality embryo and gamete storage.
