Problem
Fertility clinics face challenges in scaling egg and embryo management due to outdated, labor-intensive, and paper-based systems, which can lead to manual handling errors and a lack of real-time inventory monitoring. This can compromise the safety, security, and transparency of cryopreserved specimens.
Solution
TMRW Life Sciences offers an FDA-cleared automated platform for managing and storing frozen eggs and embryos, integrating specimens, software, and storage. The system uses RFID technology to digitally identify and track specimens, logging them in ivfOS, a proprietary, HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based database that integrates with the clinic's EMR. TMRW's platform includes advanced monitoring with Overwatch, which performs thousands of daily checks to detect and alert clinics to environmental changes. The TMRW Ecosystem offers a holistic solution with options like the CryoRobot Select, a high-volume storage robot, the TMRW Biorepository for offsite cryostorage, and the TMRW Vault, a manual liquid storage tank powered by TMRW's digital management system.
Target Audience
The primary customers are fertility clinics seeking to upgrade and optimize their egg and embryo management and storage systems, as well as patients who desire enhanced safety, security, and transparency for their frozen specimens.
