INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE

Abstract

Innovative technologies in reproductive medicine are radically changing approaches to the treatment of infertility, genetic diseases and reproductive health problems. Modern methods such as assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo cryopreservation, have significantly increased the chances of successful conception. Key achievements have also included preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), which allows identifying genetic abnormalities in embryos before they are transferred to the uterus, and genome editing technologies (such as CRISPR), which offer the prospect of correcting genetic defects at an early stage of development. In addition, stem cell research is actively developing, which in the future may make it possible to create artificial gametes, which will be a solution for people who lack functional germ cells. Another significant breakthrough is uterine transplantation, which gives a chance to bear a child to women who do not have their own functional uterus. These advances not only increase the success of reproductive procedures, but also open up new horizons in the field of personalized medicine and raise important ethical questions related to reproductive technologies. Innovative developments in reproductive medicine are aimed at improving the quality of life of people and expanding opportunities to overcome barriers to parenthood, making them an important component of modern healthcare.
