SpOvum featured in a newspaper article about Mane Hospital’s LifeNu IVF center

An article in a Kannada newspaper was published on the importance of Mane Hospital’s LifeNu IVF center at Bagalkote City in northern Karnataka. The state-of-the-art technology enabled by SpOvum Technologies is much appreciated.

Newspaper Article about

Here is the English Translation of the article

In 2018, Mane Multispecialty Hospital started an IVF center called LifeNu IVF center with all facilities for the first time in Bagalkot district. This is saving the time and money of many women who were going to different places for infertility treatment. From 2022 at Mane Hospital, in collaboration with SpOvum Technologies Company, the hospital has implemented quality maintenance technology at all stages of treatment through sensors. All treatments for infertility are available, including state-of-the-art ICSI technology treatment at affordable rates.
Due to this, not only people who were going to different cities for IVF treatment from many parts of North Karnataka like Koppala, Gadag, Vijayapur, and Belgaum are getting treatment at Dr. Mane Hospital’s LifeNu IVF center in Bagalkot, but also Dr. Vaishali has examples of couples from Bengaluru who came for the treatment and got children.

Bulk stiffness and recovery time – a measure of development of mouse embryos

Understanding the onset of embryonic arrest by studying the morphology of the embryos at different stages of their development is a relatively well-understood subject. The qualitative nature of the study makes it difficult to determine and quantify the causes behind the arrest. For successful embryonic development, it is essential to know, non-destructively, and the developmental viability of the embryos at a particular stage.

We investigate the bulk stiffness and recovery time as the viability quantifiers for grading or classifying embryos at the two-cell stage or after the formation of the first cleavage. A simple cantilever beam-based experimental procedure is established to investigate two-cell mouse embryos in two distinct orientations.

Bulk stiffness measurement varies with the embryo’s orientation and deformation. A good quality two-cell embryo shows a significant decrease in stiffness ratio with the deformation. Also, the embryo’s recovery time after releasing deformation may indicate a quality-dependent correlation.

Our study concludes that the bulk stiffness measurements in the two principal orientations, their ratio, and recovery time correlate with the underlying morphology of two-cell stage mouse embryos.

SpOvum® got an opportunity to present its product portfolio to Dr. Keshav Malhotra, who visited SpOvum on 16th Dec 2022. He was fascinated by the RoboICSI workbench especially the one-click sperm immobilization feature of the RoboICSI workbench. Dr. Keshav was really excited when he tried out using the button-based controller and the one-click immobilization feature by himself.

Dr. Keshav Malhotra with Founder Directors of SpOvum

Dr. Keshav appreciated the stiffness estimation experiments on mouse embryos and the vision of applying the observations and their insights in the embryo monitoring system using the AI and ML of SpOvum.

He had some wonderful questions and a few good suggestions and was appreciative of SpOvum’s initiative in bringing innovations to the A.R.T. space through Robotics, Automation, and AI.

Demystifying Misconceptions about Infertility and conception using ART

World Health Organization (WHO) defines Infertility as Failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.

Here are some of the misconceptions about Infertility.

Myth 1: Treatment for Infertility is complex and expensive
It depends upon the condition of the patient. Depending upon the degree of the complexity of the situation different procedures like Ovulation Induction (OI), Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI), and Invitro fertilization (IVF) are available. The procedures need not be complex and expensive. Except for the case of IVF, others are out-patient treatments

Myth 2: Infertility is due to a female’s inability
On the contrary, males contribute significantly to infertility[1].

Myth 3: Infertility treatment assures success
Depending upon several aspects the success rate is estimated to be about 40% or more[2]

Myth 4: Infertility treatment is affordable only to the Rich
Indian medical eco-system is making conscious efforts in ensuring that the treatment is accessible and affordable without compromising on quality.

Myth 5: Infertility treatment can be taken at any age
While it seems to be true age plays a significant role in achieving success. The odds of success improve if one takes it at an earlier age.[3]

Let’s collaborate…
