SpOvum Technologies had the privilege of participating in the CME held in Lucknow on 7th September 2025, a prestigious event organized under the aegis of HOPE LOGS and IFS. The gathering brought together more than 150 gynecologists and infertility specialists from across the country, making it an enriching platform for learning, sharing, and networking.
A Highlighted Talk by Dr. Yusuf Alhelou
One of the key highlights of the event was the insightful session by Dr. Yusuf Alhelou, a global key opinion leader and Head of Embryology at a leading IVF clinic chain in the UAE. Dr. Alhelou shared his expertise on “Elevating Embryology through TLM and Lab QA/QC”, drawing from his extensive research and international publications. His talk shed light on the importance of lab quality management and critical diagnostic parameters for improving IVF outcomes.
Engagement at the SpOvum Booth
SpOvum also showcased its services and solutions through a dedicated booth at the event. The booth attracted significant attention from specialists, many of whom expressed interest in our Build and Operate Model for IVF centers and our specialized Lab Services Model. These interactions reaffirmed the relevance of SpOvum’s innovative approach to supporting fertility clinics with technology, expertise, and infrastructure.

Views on Time-lapse imaging studies on embryos
Most clinicians/doctors were of the opinion that Time-lapse imaging of embryos, currently offered by commercially available devices, may not add much value to the existing ART procedures. One of the main hindrances, they believe, is the high cost involved in investing in a Time-lapse imaging system when it is possible for an embryologist to manually record/monitor the embryo development at various stages.
Most clinicians do not prefer being burdened with the additional amount of data obtained through Time-lapse imaging systems. Clinicians/doctors are also not particularly convinced about what additional value is delivered by Time-lapse imaging systems to an existing ART procedure especially when it is offered as an extra payable service to patients.
However, clinicians/doctors showed willingness to invest in Time-lapse embryo imaging systems, if:
It is offered at a lower cost
Some amount of automation and pre-processing of
the image-data, which will enable the embryologists to look at only
relevant/selected images
We believe this will be an advantage for us to effectively market the our own time lapse imaging system which aims at providing a cost-effective means to obtain time-lapse images of the developing embryo after IVF procedure. The TLM also has automated ability to monitor multiple embryos and there is promising scope to include image-processing and AI to the system.
Views on RoboICSI® Dashboard
There are many EHR and EMR handling systems. The RoboICSI® Dashboard features a distinct advantage wherein it offers ART related specialized data management to all the stake-holders involved in the ART procedure. The stake-holders include the Patients, the Doctors, the Clinicians, the Embryologists etc. They were particularly impressed that the Dashboard® does not require multiple entering of the same data and automated report generation.
Another important highlight was, more doctors presenting algorithms and more comfortable and pliant in handling large amounts of data.
Overall, our team had a great time at ACE 2019 and it was great opportunity to learn from other experts, connect with several doctors, clinicians, technologists and IVF service providers. We also got numerous constructive feedback on our products and many visitors also requested an early access to the RoboICSI® Dashboard.
Our team also had wonderful time trying out the local cuisine and also visited the famous Marina Beach in Chennai. After the event of ACE 2019, we bid farewell to one of our team members, Shubham who had worked with us since 2018. We wish him the best for his future endeavors.
RoboICSI was at ACE Goa 2018 from 17th-19th August at Holiday Inn resort.

There are three segments at the conference where you can interact and know about the device and its interesting features.
A 45 mins workshop on the device RoboICSI – Get to know about technology, benefits and many other interesting information.
Stall– To have a hands on experience of the device, we are having a stall at the conference. You can walk into the stall to have a feel of the device and meet the team behind this device.
Poster presentation of RoboICSI on the topic – “Mechanics based characterization of oocytes using Grippers”
RoboICSI Team was at KISAR 2018 at Hotel Le Meridien, Bangalore on July 14th and 15th. There was a presentation and a two day stall at the venue for RoboICSI. A soft-demo setup of the device was kept at the stall were anyone could have a hands on experience of the device.
Many keen doctors, embryologists, clinicians, scientists visited the stall and used the device to get a feel of the product. Lot of questions, suggestions, feedback were given by the visitors.
There was also a quiz conducted by the team for the visitors. The quiz was very simple were they had to grade a given oocyte image. The idea behind the quiz was to make them understand that how easy it will be to grade the oocytes using the RoboICSI Dashboard. A special goody was given to all participants. It was a Petri dish holder, which also works in the same principle as RoboICSI – “compliant mechanism”.We had 20 enthusiastic visitors who took up the quiz.
RoboICSI team had a very attractive offer of providing the Dashboard free for first 6 months for all the visitors who had signed up with RoboICSI at KISAR. There was a total of 35 people who had signed up for the free Dashboard. The username passwords were sent to them the very next day.
