Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - iDAScore®

No intervention: Embryo selection by standard morphologic criteria - The embryo for transfer will be selected by the embryologist on the basis of the morphologic appearances on day 5, according to the Gardner criteria using the ranking guideline.

Experimental: Embryo selection by iDA - Time-lapse videos will be analyzed by iDA and the embryo for fresh transfer on day 5 will be prioritized on the strict basis of the embryo with the highest iDA score. For a frozen cycle; the first embryo to be warmed will be the one with the highest iDA score.


Treatment: Devices: iDAScore®
A system that studies time lapse images obtained from the embryo culture system, Embryoscope, throughout the development to blastocyst. The system uses data acquired from a sequence of embryo images and has taught itself to identify the embryos with the highest likelihood of implanting and leading to fetal heart-beat detection.
