- sillysaurusx 6y agoInteresting line of thinking. I guess you could pipe a microscope's video feed into a YOLO model and do a count. The hard part would be making it cost effective. Legacy (YC S19) seems to be capturing this market: https://www.givelegacy.com/ https://www.givelegacy.com/ $200 is still a hefty price though.
- tzs 6y agoThere are automated sperm sample analyzers already, that give sperm concentration, motility (broken down by rapid, slow, and non), morphology, velocity, and more. Here's a promotional video from 2008 from a maker of such devices [1]. Here's a 2015 video from them showing a newer model [2]. I'm not sure how they actually work. Given the age it probably isn't machine learning. The same company also sells a home test kit, under the name Yo, which might use machine learning [3]. It uses your smart phone camera. There is also a PC/Mac version that looks like it includes its own camera. $69.95 for either kit, $45.95 for refills for the consumables for 2 tests, $89.95 for 4 tests.
