SpOvum Technologies recently participated in the German Delegation Program at IISc on November 21, 2023. This event was a pivotal moment for SpOvum to introduce its Embryo Monitoring System (EMS) to key stakeholders, including representatives from the German Ministry and experts in reproductive medicine. The program aimed to explore potential collaborations and market opportunities in Germany.
The German Delegation Program provided an ideal platform to showcase EMS, highlighting its innovative features and benefits in enhancing the success rates of ART procedures. Engaging discussions with the German Ministry opened avenues for future collaborations and partnerships, emphasizing mutual interests in advancing reproductive healthcare technologies.
Participating in this program was strategic for SpOvum’s global expansion, facilitating networking opportunities and insights into the German market. The event reaffirmed SpOvum’s commitment to innovation and laid the groundwork for entering the German market effectively.
Overall, the German Delegation Program was instrumental in positioning SpOvum for success in Germany and beyond. It reinforced SpOvum’s leadership in assisted reproduction and set the stage for future growth and collaboration in the field.
SpOvum® got an opportunity to present its product portfolio to the team of Oasis fertility headed by Dr Krishna Chaitanya in the early morning of 29th November 2022. Though it was originally expected to be brief (about fifteen minutes) it got extended! Thanks to the intriguing interaction. Dr Krishna and Dr Gaurav had some wonderful questions and were appreciative of SpOvum’s initiative in bringing innovations to the A.R.T. space through Robotics, Automation, and AI.
SpOvum presented its flagship product – RoboICSI® and its ICSI workbench – RIWB™. The scope of automation and some of the key aspects that the innovation can address were discussed. The meeting happened virtually over the Zoom video communication platform. Further, SpOvum presented a live demo of the RoboICSI® gripper-holder, the workbench comprising the programmable manipulators, the Electronic aspiration system controlled by a click-based controller, and an indigenously designed button controller.
SpOvum wishes to engage with the Oasis fertility team to bring a synergetic approach to addressing some of the needs of the IVF ecosystem. As the vision statement of Oasis indicates “To be the trusted experts and leaders in providing evidence-based fertility treatments with compassion” SpOvum has found a common ground for a strong collaboration. Looking forward to a brighter future!
RoboICSI® is an award-winning device to assist the embryologist during IVF towards improving the outcomes, thus helping infertile couples bear a child. Based on a novel design technique, RoboICSI® is a patent-pending device that will help bridge the gap between the demand and supply in the explosively growing infertility industry. It will be a Made-in-India device that will be a pioneer, offering several features for the First time in the World.
It is a smart device, which helps the embryologist to perform ICSI in an enhanced manner. RoboICSI® substitutes the holding pipette that is being used in the conventional ICSI.
RoboICSI® offers a novel way to grasp cells using bio compatible material, which offer several advantages compared to the traditional micro-pipette aspiration-based immobilization
Gentle handling of cells
RoboICSI® ’s intelligent passive force-limiting technology ensures that the oocyte that is grasped is not damaged even if the embryologist makes a mistake
Quick and hassle-free installation
RoboICSI® is designed and developed keeping in mind the current devices that are used in ICSI workbenches. RoboICSI®’s plug-and-play system allows the user to quickly plug the system, perform and the auto-calibration and get started in about a day
Easy onboarding and seamless integration
RoboICSI® is easy to learn, which allows clinics to add it into their workflow without much hassle
Eliminates subjectivity while handling oocytes
Performs routine tasks and reduces fatigue.Augments the embryologists and maximizes their potentials
RoboICSI® is a robust device. It replaces the use of pneumatic pump, making it easier to handle with an easy-to-use and intuitive control.
Not-fragile
The conventional ICSI holding pipette is made of glass and has a tendency to break while handling the oocytes. RoboICSI® replaces the glass pipette with a Holder made up of silicone elastomer, which is not fragile.
Automated
Data is collected automatically throughout the process.
Gentle manipulation of oocytes
The Holder which is designed to be soft, ensures no oocytes are harmed during the ICSI procedure (even inadvertently).
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.
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.
These are few photos from the event:
