Embryo Options
摘要
Millions of embryos are cryopreserved each year around the world, with associated costs of the equipment and consumables necessary to maintain their viability over long-term storage. Many patients, especially those who have successfully completed their fertility treatment and have given birth to their desired number of children, may be faced with a dilemma of what to do with their embryos remaining in cryo-storage. Well-planned and executed embryo donation programs are not yet commonplace, and, understandably, fertility specialists may well lack the time and training required to educate and counsel their patients in fully understanding their embryo disposition options. To help alleviate these issues, the Embryo OptionsSM platform provides an online cryo-storage billing service to fertility clinics and an online patient portal to educate patients and facilitate embryo donation between those wishing to donate their embryos and those desiring to become parents.
