Abstract
A system and method of biological testing and deep learning to predict fertility based on ferning patterns and detecting white blood cells in cervical mucous samples.
Claims19
A method to predict a fertility window of a mammal, the method comprising:
- providing a housing having a slide holder, a light source, and a camera;
- providing a slide having first and second reservoirs;
- placing a first mucous sample in the first reservoir and a second mucous sample in the second reservoir;
- inserting the slide into the slide holder;
- capturing one or more images of the first mucous sample and the second mucous sample;
- and
- analyzing the one or more images to determine whether white blood cells are present within the first mucous sample and identify ferning patterns within the second mucous sample.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a housing comprising a camera having a field of view, a light source configured to provide illumination to the field of view, and a slide holder configured to hold a slide containing a cervical mucous sample from a subject such that at least a portion of the slide is disposed within the field of view;
- and
- a computer system comprising one or more processors programmed to execute computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer system to:
- capture, using the camera, a first image of the cervical mucous sample;
- move the light source relative to the slide;
- capture, using the camera, a second image of the cervical mucous sample;
- and
- analyze the first image and the second image using a visual learning algorithm to determine if there are white blood cells in the cervical mucous sample.
