IDAScore™ & ERICA™ — AI-Assisted Embryo Evaluation

Fully computer-automated analysis of your embryos. We use two complementary AI tools — iDAScore™ and ERICA™ — to support objective, consistent embryo evaluation during IVF. We are participating in an Institutional Review Board (IRB)–approved clinical research study evaluating iDAScore™, an artificial intelligence (AI)–based software designed to assist in embryo evaluation during IVF.

What Is  iDAScore™?

iDAScore™ is an AI-powered software developed to analyze time-lapse images of embryo development. Using deep-learning algorithms trained on large datasets of embryos with known outcomes, iDAScore™ evaluates developmental patterns and assigns each embryo a numerical score reflecting its developmental potential.

How iDAScore™ Works

iDAScore™ is currently being evaluated in the United States as part of an IRB-approved investigational study.

Undisturbed Culture

Embryos are cultured in a time-lapse incubator (EmbryoScope®) that continuously records embryo development.

AI Embryo Scoring

iDAScore™ analyzes these images without touching or disturbing the embryos.

 

Fast Reliable Results

Each embryo receives an AI-generated score based on complex developmental features. The analysis is completed within seconds and is fully automated.

 

Why Study & Use iDAScore™ at Aurea?

Traditional embryo grading relies on visual assessment by experienced embryologists and can involve some degree of subjectivity.​​

 

iDAScore™ aims to:
  • Provide objective, data-driven embryo assessment

  • Reduce variability in embryo evaluation

  • Support embryologists with consistent AI-based insights

  • Advance future standards in IVF embryo selection

 

​What This Means for Patients
  • No additional procedures or medications

  • No added risk or discomfort

  • No changes to your IVF cycle

  • No delays in treatment

Current research focuses on understanding how often iDAScore™ rankings align with expert embryologist assessments.

Meet ERICA™ —
Embryo Ranking Without Biopsy or Media Sampling

At Aurea, we also use ERICA™ — a deep learning AI tool designed to prioritize embryos based on euploidy training sets, harnessing the power of machine learning directly in our lab. ERICA™ improves its performance continuously — that's what Deep Learning AI means, and that's what we want for our patients.

 
ERICA™ Key Features:
  • Ultra-fast and accurate

  • Improves efficiency and consistency in the lab

  • Trained to estimate ploidy potential of each embryo

  • Works with your current equipment

 

Extraordinary Performance

ERICA™ is a powerful tool created to assist skilled professionals working to achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Two AI Tools. One Goal: Your Best Embryo.

At Aurea Fertility, we combine iDAScore™ and ERICA™ to give your embryos the most comprehensive AI-powered evaluation available. iDAScore™ scores embryos based on time-lapse developmental patterns, while ERICA™ ranks them based on ploidy potential — all without biopsy. Together, they support our embryologists with objective, multi-dimensional insights to help select the embryo most likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy.
