Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article proposes a structural scheme of information flow management in the information and analytical decision support system (IADSS) for embryologists and reproductive medicine physicians based on artificial intelligence (AI), which was developed during research for a doctoral dissertation entitled "Information System for Diagnosing Pathologies in Reproductive Medicine". This system will optimize the work of physicians in reproductive centers and improve the efficiency of programs using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) by providing recommendations for implementing/adjusting protocols, automatic assessment of embryos according to the Gardner scale, and recommendations for selecting embryos taking into account genetic abnormalities. A literature review of works by authors who previously developed systems using AI in reproductive medicine was conducted. The review considered the methods and models used for various tasks, such as assessing embryo ploidy, determining the most viable embryo, assessing the implantation potential of the embryo, predicting the onset of pregnancy and live birth. A prototype of one of the modules of the IADSS for the analysis of embryonic images for the automated classification of the development stage of embryos based on their visual characteristics has been developed. In the future, it is planned to supplement other modules of the system, process large volumes of data and conduct testing in real clinical practice.
