Drop detection of Human Follicle Fluid in a Test Tube
Problem Statement: To explore the feasibility of automating the detection of follicular fluid drops during the ovum pick-up procedure.
Solution: To address the challenge of accurate detection of human follicle fluid drops as they fall into a test tube during the aspiration process, we propose a novel solution that uses machine vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the process. Our solution will be more precise and efficient than current methods, and it will eliminate the risk of human error.
Our solution has the potential to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and safety of IVF procedures. It could also help to reduce the risk of human error, which could lead to improved outcomes for patients.
This innovative solution offers several key benefits:
Follicle Fluid Detection Redefined: Precision, Efficiency, Confidence
Real-Time Detection: Our apparatus offers real-time detection of each drop of follicle fluid as it falls into the test tube. This ensures that no valuable sample is missed during the aspiration process.
Precision Monitoring: With a pair of optical devices and signal processing circuitry, our system provides precise monitoring of the fluid's intensity. This accuracy guarantees the reliable detection of the first drop.
Enhanced Efficiency: By automating the detection process, our method allows medical professionals to focus their attention on the procedure itself, improving overall efficiency and reducing the risk of human error.
Early Notification: The apparatus generates an electrical signal as soon as the first drop is detected, providing an early notification to medical staff. This prompt alert helps prevent spillage and ensures the preservation of valuable follicle fluid.
