Blog post written in collaboration with our partners UR Vistahermosa.
Egg donation is a very common treatment for women with difficulties in achieving a pregnancy. They would finally achieve the long-awaited motherhood thanks to this treatment.
In processes as delicate as those of assisted reproduction, safety and process control are very important. We are aware that there is a certain concern that the offspring may not be similar to the parents. This is why at UR Vistahermosa we invest in the latest technologies and tools to select the best donors for our patients. Therefore, we offer them the possibility to use 3-D facial recognition systems, such as Fenomatch.
By using a special algorithm of physical traits, our team of doctors and embryologists in UR VISTAHERMOSA can objectively and scientifically select the ideal donor for our patients, minimizing human error in the selection. Thus, an algorithm allows the best matching, based on the physical features of the parents in just a few seconds.
All we need is a photograph of the patient in order to automatically filter potential donors by facial similarity. With this picture, the algorithm analyses over 10,000 biometric data points.
UR VISTAHERMOSA claims the fact that we work with people, that they are not only our vocation but also our greatest asset; therefore we aim at reducing the stress of the future parents as well as optimizing the donor selection process. By doing this, we find phenotypic characteristics that coincide with the mother (we use a PHENOTYPE FILTER for that), genetic compatibility (GENETIC COMPATIBILITY FILTER) and greater facial resemblance (BIOMETRIC FILTER). This circumstance of tranquillity and security is key for us.
