AI embryo selection
Software that scores or ranks embryos (often from time-lapse images) to help pick which to transfer.
The verdict

Cochrane evidence base
Emerging technology; the largest prospective double-blind RCT (Illingworth 2024, iDAScore) did not beat standard morphology (46.5% vs 48.2% clinical pregnancy) and failed its non-inferiority margin.
In India
Increasingly marketed, usually bundled with time-lapse; hard to price separately.
