Fairtility Unveils CHLOE OQ™ Expanding its Offering into Fertility Preservation
CHLOE OQ™ Secures CE, Empowering Embryologists and Patients with Oocyte Quality Insights for Egg Freezing, Egg Donation and IVF Applications
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Fairtility, the transparent AI innovator powering reproductive care for improved outcomes, today announced the launch of CHLOE OQ™, bringing Oocyte Quality Insights to CHLOE’s core technology suite of capabilities and expanding the applicability of its AI-driven decision support tool to fertility preservation. The solution will be unveiled at the 39th Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) being held in Copenhagen, Denmark from June 25 to 28, 2023.
With CE declared for CHLOE OQ™, the new Oocyte Quality Insights capability offers IVF professionals comprehensive information to support decision making as patients undergo fertility preservation or assisted reproductive journeys. CHLOE OQ delivers predictions of an oocyte’s potential to reach the blastocyst stage post-fertilization.
“An embryologist’s assessment of fertility potential involves understanding three factors: sperm, oocytes and embryos. We can evaluate the viability of embryos and understand sperm quality. However, assessing oocyte quality has remained a statistical gamble,” said Dr. Cristina Hickman, Chief Clinical Officer of Fairtility. “When looking at a seemingly ‘good’ oocyte, we can’t really identify which one will become a blast after fertilization. CHLOE OQ helps us fill the critical gap, providing evidence-based viability predictions for the evaluation of oocytes. This will help clinicians to provide transparency to patients while discussing the potential of frozen oocytes for fertility preservation, the potential reasons for a failed IVF cycle, or when assessing and allocating donor eggs.”
Oocyte potential prediction for reaching blastulation and pregnancy commonly relies on statistical methods based on a woman’s age. Embryologists analyze oocyte quality based on oocyte maturity and characteristics including size, texture, shape, discoloration and fragmentation. However, these factors have proven to be subjective and lack correlation with the actual quality of the egg. CHLOE OQ brings the power of AI to oocyte assessment, replacing generalized decision making with personalized, data-driven AI analysis that reveals the potential of each oocyte backed by biological data.
CHLOE OQ offers personalized data to support decision making for three key applications:
- Egg Freezing: In the process of fertility preservation, IVF professionals may recommend an additional oocyte retrieval based on the raw number of oocytes retrieved. While CHLOE OQ cannot change the biology of the egg, it can assist in providing a personalised assessment and managing expectations for family planning early on. CHLOE OQ helps IVF professionals and patients make informed decisions on whether to undergo an additional oocyte retrieval cycle. The tool is designed to optimize the chances of successful IVF in the future and gives women greater control of their reproductive opportunities later in life.
- Egg Donation: CHLOE OQ helps fertility clinics and egg banks to further assess the quality of donor eggs, ensuring equitable distribution to recipients. By leveraging data-driven insights, donor-egg providers may match recipients with the most suitable donor eggs, increasing the chances of successful IVF outcomes, maximizing limited donor egg resources and enhancing the donor-recipient experience.
- IVF Treatment: During IVF, older patients are often guided to utilize donor eggs based on age rather than the true quality of their eggs. The fact that pregnancy rate reduces with age leads to the assumption that after age 40, a failed IVF cycle is because of egg quality. This is correct statistically, but not necessarily in an individual case. CHLOE OQ is expected to help IVF professionals consider if a patient’s own eggs have sufficient quality for a successful IVF treatment, or if an egg donor may be a more suitable option. This reduces costs for patients undergoing IVF and maximizes egg donor resources. A better understanding of oocyte quality also provides IVF professionals insight on an oocyte’s role in a failed IVF cycle, enabling better treatment decisions for future IVF cycles.
“Adding oocyte analysis broadens CHLOE’s core technology capabilities, extending beyond embryo assessment for IVF. CHLOE OQ now provides decision support for fertility preservation, egg donation, and female-factor infertility in IVF treatment. This expansion allows us to assist a larger population seeking to secure their reproductive futures,” stated Eran Eshed, CEO and Co-Founder of Fairtility. “While we can’t halt the passage of time and the consequent decline in oocyte quality, we can effectively freeze it. With CHLOE OQ, patients, through their fertility care team, can gain transparency into their oocytes’ viability, enabling proactive management of their reproductive health and facilitating well-informed decisions based on biological data.”
CHLOE’s core technology is the first and only decision support tool that combines AI-driven analysis of embryos and oocytes with explainable biological insights in terms that IVF professionals understand and can trust. This supports data driven and consistent decision making in the IVF lab, with a goal of optimizing outcomes, making fertility care more efficient and creating new family-building possibilities.

Common Crawl Foundation and Constellation Network Announce Partnership to Bridge Blockchain and AI
Constellation Network and Common Crawl Foundation are Revolutionizing Web Data Accessibility and AI Development Through Blockchain Technology
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Common Crawl Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 2007, dedicated to providing a copy of the internet to the public, and Constellation Network, a Web3 blockchain ecosystem notable for providing solutions to the US Department of Defense today announced a strategic partnership aimed at democratizing and enhancing the accessibility and utility of web-crawled data on blockchain technology for artificial intelligence (AI) and data applications.
This collaboration will explore potential opportunities for improving large language models used by AI, starting with Common Crawl’s vast dataset that is used by 80% of Large Language Models, crawled over 250 billion web pages to date (19 billion in 2024 alone), and consists of an archive of nearly 9 petabytes of archived crawled data. By leveraging Constellation’s decentralized network, Hypergraph, to add immutability, provenance, and auditability around the data the partnership aligns to provide joint solutions around responsible and transparent AI.
With AI projected to be a $3T industry by 2030, there are growing demands for secure solutions to sharing common data sets being used for the training of large language models, improving storage of queried and cleaned data, monetization opportunities for data, and enhanced transparency with the source of data. With Constellation’s unique approach to providing tools to converge existing infrastructure with distributed and decentralized networks, and Common Crawl’s history of data and growth of data utility, this partnership aligns to further democratize data.
“This partnership represents a significant step forward in securing trusted distribution of Common Crawl” said Rich Skrenta, Executive Director of the Common Crawl Foundation. “By combining our comprehensive web archive with Constellation’s proven implementation of blockchain technology, researchers and developers from around the world can trust what they’re getting from Common Crawl and have a model for authenticating large open data sets, such as those used for AI training”.
Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network states, “The partnership between Constellation Network and Common Crawl highlights mainstream adoption of web3 solutions outside the echo chambers of crypto. This alignment continues Constellation’s mission of our zero trust network being used as a public good for a data-focused future”. Jorgensen continues, “Our aim is to further attract new developers by showcasing capabilities, such as integrating immutability throughout digital workflows, and thus further differentiate ourselves from earlier generations of blockchain technology.”
The two organizations will begin a phased approach to implement this initiative, starting with a customizable subnet, called a metagraph, which will integrate a subset of Common Crawl’s data. This subnet is currently live on their test network and will be soon deployed to Constellation’s public network, Hypergraph. Further details of the live metagraph will be featured in the coming weeks along with information on how organizations and developers can participate.
