Medicall is India’s largest hospital equipment expo.
Each year, Medicall recognises promising Made in India, made for the world intentions every year through the Medicall Innovation Awards.
SpOvum’s RoboICSI was recognised at the Medicall 2021 Innovation awards in the Medical Equipment category.
This was an opportunity to present our innovation to a panel of experienced Jury and diverse audience at the Medicall 2021, helping get valuable inputs, apart from improving our outreach.
Our team was at ACE 2019 held in Chennai, at the Leela Palace on 20th-21st July 2019. There were two-parallel sessions held on both days. The event was well-attended by Doctors, Clinicians, Embryologists, Medical Technologists, Manufactures etc. The SpOvum® team had a stall for 2 days (from 20th – 21st July 2019). The products highlighted on our stall were the RoboICSI® Dashboard and the RoboScope time-lapse imaging system. Stall visitors were gifted our customized SpOvum® pens!
Some of the noteworthy talks of ACE 2019 were
There were also several interesting panel-discussions including one on “Real case scenarios in ART and management” and on “When good embryos fail…why and what next?”.
There was an engaging debate session on “Time-lapse imaging and incubation” wherein Dr. Keshav Malhotra spoke in favor of the technology and Dr. Pranay Ghose debated against it.

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:
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. We had a 3 day stall were many embryologist, clinicians, distributors, freelancers, students, manufacturers, IVF product suppliers visited to know about the technology and the working of the product. We had a live demo setup for the visitors to get a feel of it.
There was a poster presentation by the team as well which was on ” Mechanics based characterization of oocytes using grippers” that explains about how bio-mechanical properties helps us to distinguish good and bad oocytes .
Dr Keshav Malhotra had presented a talk on “Automation in IVF” where he had talked about RoboICSI under Automation of ICSI on the 3rd day of the conference.
Clinics/ embryologists who were interested for a free demo of RoboICSI signed up with us at the stall to get to know more about the product.
There is a free signup for hands on training on RoboICSI at world-class Santaan-Origio Academy. To sign-up please do visit our blog post Hands on Training on RoboICSI
RoboICSI Team had a wonderful stay and experience at ACE Goa conference 2018. We got to meet many embryologists, Clinicians, Companies who were ready to connect and get to know about the product even further.

DO NOT MISS IT!!!
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.
