A Prospective Observational Study of Biomarkers for a Personalised IVF Treatment

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Study investigates the effect of four-dimensional patient data (medical, lifestyle, environmental, and genetic) on the outcomes of ovarian stimulation for IVF. Study will allow us to create a meaningful combination of medical knowledge, unique physician experience and information derived from data analysis. Additionally, the Study allows us to fine-tune the existing algorithms and develop new decision-supporting algorithms.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Details of the ovarian stimulation and its outcomes for each patient will be analysed with the corresponding patient data collected or generated during the Study in the five streams as described under the headings Stream one to Stream five. Stream one: Personal and medical data Patient mobile app - collects up to 227 different data points about the female and additional up to 64 data points about her partner, Appendix 13. Physician portal - mirrors the patient data from the mobile app and will provide tools for physician decision-making support and for error minimisation during the treatment using algorithms. Stream two: Biorhythms and lifestyle Devices monitoring activity and health data (smart watches, bracelets, rings) Heart rate Respiratory rate Heart rate variability Blood oxygen level Sleeping cycle Sleeping respiratory rate Body temperature Activity - steps Stress level Stream three: Environment Based on patient location(s), the following data are monitored: Season Weather Moon phases Sun activity Pollution Stream four: Biomarkers Blood tests - the hormonal profile is determined at the beginning of the menstrual cycle and some determinations are made on the day of ovulation induction (trigger) anti-mullerian hormone follicle stimulating hormone luteinizing hormone (also on the trigger day) Oestradiol (also on the trigger day) Prolactin Progesterone (also on the trigger day) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) antibody thyroid peroxidase sex hormone-binding globulin Testosterone DHEAS Follicular fluid (FF) Examination of oxidative stress level a.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: women aged 18-45 accompanied by a male partner; diagnosis of infertility: one year of unprotected intercourse for patients under the age of 35; 6 months for patients aged 35 and older; embryo transfer planned using fresh, autologous oocytes; using the Oura Ring smart device and sharing health and lifestyle data through the device at least during the IVF treatment (from the beginning of ovarian stimulation until the pregnancy test).
