Tour around the EmbryoViewer software 7.5
The EmbryoViewer software is the workstation from which the actual inspection and analysis take place. It is also the hub for registering and reading patient data and for visualising incubation conditions. In this video, we will give you an overview of the software.
-
Daily workflow with Guided annotation and KIDScore SW 7.5
In this video, we will look into how the EmbryoViewer software with Guided Annotation and KIDScore can help you get a simple and efficient workflow for analysing embryo development and deciding which embryo to transfer.
-
Setting up an annotation strategy for better workflow
To evaluate embryos, you need to collect information about each viable embryo in a cohort. In this video we will look into how to define such a strategy in the EmbryoViewer.
-
Guided Annotation for a better workflow – new features
Guided Annotation is a tool in the EmbryoViewer designed to make your annotation process more efficient. The new version of Guided Annotation is based on artificial intelligence-based algorithms. This video will teach you about the concepts of the tool.
-
Compare and Select –optimising embryo evaluation
“Compare & Select” is the EmbryoViewer software tool for comparing all embryos across a patient’s treatments. In this video, we will look into the different features of the “Compare & Select” tool.
-
Information model
Information models can be used to generate an overview of embryo development parameters and to streamline the embryo evaluation process by making sure that the same information is taken into account for all embryos.
-
Create and export videos
During this video, you will learn how to export a video of embryo development to a format that you can save on your computer or USB or, for example, include in a presentation
-
Making the most of your data – how to export
When you are using your EmbryoScope time-lapse system to register information about patient embryos and treatments, the export function of the EmbryoViewer represents a way to export this information into a spreadsheet format. In this video, we will look into how to set up your EmbryoViewer software to export the data you need.

Time-lapse significantly improves live birth rates and reduces early pregnancy loss rates according to new meta-analysis
This publication compares available randomised control trials (RCTs) on time-lapse versus traditional embryo incubation and evaluation to assess the effect of time-lapse and concludes that using time-lapse as a complete system helps to improve clinical outcome rates.

Embryoscope use - a sneaky glimpse at the UK
Several published papers and RCTs have shown that time-lapse culture and evaluation with EmbryoScope have been proven to improve clinical outcome. In this blog post, Dr. Stephen Troup compares outcomes between centres across the UK based on how HFEA's statistics from 2015 to 2016 shows a correlation between improved implantation rate and having an EmbryoScope or more installed. This uplift in implantation rate is similar to what has been reported in many of the published papers on the subject.

A guide to understanding time-lapse nomenclature
New assessment methods call for new assessment measures. Having a common nomenclature can form the basis for clearer communication of embryo assessment and evaluation. The nomenclature described in this blog post is what we have found to facilitate ease of agreement and understanding between time-lapse users.
