Abstract

Objective: To develop a spatiotemporal model for de prediction of euploid and aneuploid embryos using time-lapse videos from 10- Main Outcome Measures: The research used an end-to-end approach to develop an automated artificial intelligence system capable of extracting features from images and classifying them, considering spatiotemporal dependencies. A convolutional neural network extracted the most relevant features from each video frame. A bidirectional long short-term memory layer received this information and analyzed the temporal dependencies, obtaining a low-dimensional feature vector that characterized each video. A multilayer perceptron classified them into 2 groups, euploid and noneuploid. Results: The model performance in accuracy fell between 0.6170 and 0.7308. A multi-input model with a gate recurrent unit module performed better than others; the precision (or positive predictive value) is 0.8205 for predicting euploidy. Sensitivity, specificity, F1Score and accuracy are 0.6957, 0.7813, 0.7042, and 0.7308, respectively. Conclusions: This article proposes an artificial intelligence solution for prioritizing euploid embryo transfer. We can highlight the identification of a noninvasive method for chromosomal status diagnosis using a deep learning approach that analyzes raw data provided by time-lapse incubators. This method demonstrated potential automation of the evaluation process, allowing spatial and temporal information to encode. (Fertil Steril Sci (R) 2023;4:211-8.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-18:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 22 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

    It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

    • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
