Pune hospital launches ‘IVF success calculator'
An In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Success Calculator, a digital tool that provides personalised estimates of IVF success rates and number of cycles potentially required based on an individual's personal medical data, was launched on the occasion of World IVF day which was on July 25th.
Indira IVF hospital launched the tool and when contacted, Dr Kshitiz Murdia, CEO, Indira IVF told The Indian Express that this move introduces a new way that fertility care may be accessed in India. 'This IVF calculator offers individuals a way to understand their likelihood of success based on key medical details. Essentially it allows them to begin the process with a sense of direction rather than uncertainty,' he said.
World IVF Day is celebrated annually on July 25 to commemorate the birth of Louise Brown – the first baby conceived through in vitro fertilization. According to experts the day also provides a reflection on advancements in reproductive medicine, stories and struggles associated with assisted reproduction.
According to Dr Murdia, the calculator is another step to help patients at the earliest stage of the journey.
'The calculator's predictions present projected success rates across one, two, and three IVF cycles. This may help individuals make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence at every stage of their journey,' he said.
This calculator analyses key medical inputs and generates a downloadable report that outlines success probabilities while also highlighting potential fertility concerns such as PCOS or abnormal sperm morphology. It offers early treatment considerations along with general lifestyle recommendations. 'The IVF Success Calculator allows users to manually enter key medical details, including AMH values, sperm count and motility or upload existing reports to receive a personalised success estimate, delivered securely in a few minutes,' Dr Murdia added. Meanwhile, experts on the occasion of World IVF Day reflected on the transformative power of reproductive science and held awareness sessions.
