Research

Jessica Wilkinson is currently undertaking her PhD thesis entitled ‘The application and validation of artificial intelligence to automate the planning of assisted conception protocols’. The aim of the project is to evaluate the current evidence of machine learning models at predicting oocyte yield at transvaginal oocyte retrieval in assisted conception. This will form the basis of the development of a new machine learning model that will help clinicians plan assisted conception treatment protocols, aiming to improve clinical outcomes for patients with subfertility.
