“Starting in clinical embryology, I had no way to compare my clinical decision making to people who had many years in the field. I had no way to easily know if my judgment in grading embryos was correct, or even close”

Dr. Carol Curchoe, Former Utah State Science Advisor is a Senior Embryologist & the CEO & Founder of ART Compass—the first to deliver artificial intelligence systems at the point of care for IVF Practice Management.
