The Project addresses to a global market conformed by fertility specialists. The most important contribution of our project should be the delivery of fully automated semen analyzer. Semen analyze is both, an expensive and time consuming process, which involves obtaining samples, analyzing them to final reporting. Infertility specialist across the world are exploring ways to improve productivity with smaller budgets, against the backdrop of declining government reimbursement rates for laboratory testing, cost-cutting measures adopted by managed care organizations, and the general emphasis on reducing healthcare costs. Automation has therefore emerged as key need towards achieving cost efficiencies and enhanced productivity. Automation in laboratories involves replacement of manual, error-prone techniques with automated processes that involve minimal operator intervention.
The need to improve workflow against a backdrop of increasing number of diagnostic tests being performed is additionally driving the business case for clinical automation. With our system the time invested in a semen analyze is drastically reduced being this fact critical for a higher productivity improvement and for the increase of the benefits. Moreover, standardization is a real need for research centers and institutions as it helps to bring research results to the market as it has already been explained that SEMENIZER will be the unique and definitive solution to accomplish WHO standards in the semen research field.
Our system will solve different problems related to high cost, standarization, increase of the unexplained infertility cases and subjectivity of the results, being the only fully automated and standardized computer - aided CASA system in the market capable to measure a wide range of sperm characteristics objectively, qualitatively and quantitatively. Our system will represent a powerful tool for infertility specialists.
