Problem
Traditional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) methods often involve surgery and specialized clinics, leading to high costs and limited accessibility for many women seeking fertility treatments. Current diagnostic methods for intrauterine evaluation also lack the accuracy of direct visualization.
Solution
Butterfly Biosciences offers UteroCare, a single-platform solution designed to provide less invasive, lower-cost fertility and gynecologic care within a standard gynecologist's office. Their platform, featuring Visual Embryo Transfer (VET) and Visual Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS), aims to replace surgical procedures with in-office treatments, enhancing both safety and patient comfort. The VET system allows for precise, visually guided embryo transfer, while the Visual SIS system enables direct visual evaluation of the uterus, with options for targeted biopsies and operative procedures. BBioConnect, their AI-powered platform, integrates with the system to refine diagnostic precision and streamline clinic administration through HIPAA-compliant data management and AI decision support.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes Ob/Gyns seeking to offer less invasive and more affordable fertility and gynecologic care, as well as women seeking accessible and comfortable fertility treatment options.
