VIDA (Virtual Infertility Decision Assistant)
In the study of male fertility, we approach the problem from the perspective of a possible influence of environmental factors and life habits in semen quality. To do that we use artificial intelligence techniques to produce a Decision Support Systems (DSS) that can help in the prediction of semen parameters. This Virtual Assistant, based on Artificial Intelligence methods, can predict the results of the sperm concentration from the answers of a questionnaire. It is a useful tool in order to early diagnosis and cribbage of patients with seminal disorders or in the selection of candidates to become semen donors.
It has been developed studying a population of healthy young volunteers. With the answers to a validated questionnaire and the results of a semen analysis we have developed an algorithm that can predict, with more than a 90% of accuracy (based on experimental data), the results of a semen analysis showing the impact of environmental factors and lifestyle on sperm production.
