We are excited to introduce AURA: The world’s first end-to-end automation of the IVF lab. This is not theoretical. We are already achieving pregnancies. AURA performs the more than 200 steps necessary to combine sperm and eggs to create viable embryos. Conceivable’s AURA workcell will be operational in early 2025 and we can’t wait to work with clinicians everywhere to improve IVF outcomes, increase scale, and lower costs.

Success in the industrial age invariably follows a pattern of standardization, automation and scale. This is a notable, important and impressive step in delivering on the promise of 4 plus decades of innovation in assisted reproduction to the tens of millions of people worldwise that can benefit. Nice work! (Disc: advisor to the co.)
This looks great, as always though, there will still have to be an interface between the customer and the specialists utilising this technology. I see this new technology as an opportunity for providers to focus on how they deliver this service. People want to discuss and plan for their child in a beautiful, calming, professional environment. A21architects Ltd has designed really great IVF clinics in the past so we can help to work out what this looks like for you, as well as advise on appropriate sites.

This is fantastic! I can't imagine how much effort has gone into building such an intricate system👍 I'm curious, though—how will clinics utilize this? Will it be located in major cities and shared by multiple clinics, or is there another distribution plan?🤔

Can you tell me the name of a clinic that is using the complete Aura system? It would be good talk with them to learn of the experience.

4moWhile the concept of affordable and AI-driven automation in IVF may seem promising, it's important to consider what might be lost in the process. The true costs of successful IVF lie in the quality of solutions, medications, and maintaining a precisely controlled lab environment—areas where human expertise is irreplaceable. AI might assist in decision-making, but it cannot replicate the nuanced judgment, adaptability, and hands-on experience that skilled embryologists bring to the table. Automation might streamline the process, but there's a risk of compromising the very quality and success rates that are crucial in IVF treatments. In essence, while AI and automation may offer some advantages, the irreplaceable human touch and the high standards that come with it should not be overlooked. The promise of affordability should never come at the cost of compromising on the quality and success that only experienced professionals can ensure.
