"AI + chromosomes" artificial intelligence to help healthy fertility, a must-see in preparation for pregnancy

Today, the three-child policy has been fully opened, from "only one good child" to "comprehensive two-child", and then to the "three-child policy" that is now coming.

"AI + chromosomes" artificial intelligence to help healthy fertility, a must-see in preparation for pregnancy

"Giving birth" is a common challenge faced by many economically more developed countries, and it is also one of the major problems commonly faced by all countries in the world. The continent is no exception. No one could have imagined that as the world's most populous country, we would not be able to escape the spell of "negative population growth that may result from declining fertility levels". "Raising a child is tiring." This is the feedback of most people, and at the same time, it is also the direction that Deshi Bio has comprehensively overcome.

How to make your baby born healthy?

With the comprehensive opening up of the three-child policy, the fertility problem in the mainland has gradually been paid more attention to and valued by more people. Among them, the health status of repeated abortion, infertility, and the high incidence of birth defects in newborns has directly affected the further improvement of the people's willingness to have children.

Fortunately, this is an era of digital waves, and the challenges we face will be easily solved by AI. With the breakthrough technological innovation in recent years, the high-tech enterprise Deshi Biological in our province has solved the "card neck" problem for the first time in the world, escorting our healthy fertility!

Know it, but don't know why it is "stained"

The probability of birth defects remains high, but few people really understand the reasons, and "chromosomes" are one of the culprits.

We normal people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, that is, 46 chromosomes, parents in the conception of the next generation, through sperm and eggs to pass on half of their own chromosome code to the baby, combined into a new 46 chromosomes. If one is lost or added to the genetic process, or if the structure of the chromosomes is mutated, chromosomal diseases can be caused.

Fertility is not a blind box, and this is exactly the problem that Deshi wants to solve!

More than 4,000 chromosomal abnormalities have been found worldwide, and the vast majority of neonatal chromosomal diseases are incurable.

According to the "Report on the Prevention and Treatment of Birth Defects in China (2012)" released by the Ministry of Health, the defect rate of the newborn population in the mainland is about 5.6%, which is close to the average of the world's middle-income countries and higher than the 3% of the United States.

Due to the large population base of the mainland, the absolute number of children with birth defects is high, with 800,000 to 1.2 million new birth defects every year, with an average of one defective child born every 30 seconds.

Defects are mainly manifested in: mental retardation, developmental delay, multiple deformities, special appearance, life can not be completely self-care, and even the situation of intersex homogeneity, which is what everyone calls "yin and yang people", this situation is not uncommon.

Surveys have shown that chromosomal abnormalities account for 50% of aborted embryos, 8 ‰ of stillborn babies, 6 ‰ of newborn deaths, 5 to 10 ‰ of new living babies, and 5 ‰ of the general population.

Chromosomal abnormalities can be inherited! That is to say, if there are hidden abnormal chromosomes in our bodies, it is very likely that they will be passed on to the next generation without knowing it, and the baby born in October will be "defective"?

Preventing problems without "staining"

In addition to being heritable, another characteristic of chromosomes is that they remain unchanged for life! It is precisely for this reason that we need to do a good job of first-level prevention and control measures, do a good job of chromosomal testing before marriage and pregnancy, and know in advance whether we can have normal fertility, rather than opening a "blind box".

There are many ways of chromosome detection, the common NIPT in the past to prenatal screening and selective termination of pregnancy as the main means of prevention, comprehensive gestational age, pregnant women's age, weight and other information, through professional screening software, calculated that the fetus has a risk of chromosomal abnormalities, there are certain limitations, because it can only detect the three most common chromosomal diseases, namely trisomy 21, trisomy 18, trisomy 13.

Compared with conventional testing items, karyotype analysis is the "gold standard" for preventing and treating birth defects before pregnancy and diagnosis during pregnancy, and can detect more than 4,000 chromosomal abnormalities at one time, which is the detection method we need.

It is worth mentioning that the chromosome testing project has taken too long.

To detect a case, you need to find dozens of karyotypes that can be analyzed under the microscope, and then arrange them by hand, and analyze them, often a case takes a month to issue a test report.

Such a reality makes it difficult to popularize the testing project, and because of the high labor cost and the high cost of testing, the testing project has become a testing project that only rich families will do.

The wave of digitalization has struck, and artificial intelligence + chromosomes should be "pregnant"

Under the wave of artificial intelligence, Hangzhou Deshi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. combines AI with medical treatment to develop and list metaSight automatic cell microscopy image scanning system & AutoVision intelligent karyotype analysis system.

The third generation of artificial intelligence karyotype analysis technology pioneered by Deshi Biology uses intelligent algorithms to increase the overall efficiency of traditional detection technology by as much as 10 times, reducing the number of scarce professional analysts to 1/10 of the original, which has been purchased and used in more than 50 well-known top three hospitals.

Chromosome test report can be issued in 7 days, and the recognition accuracy rate has reached more than 99%, and the accuracy rate can reach 100% after manual correction and final review by the doctor.

The complicated work is entrusted to computer work, the whole process does not need manual operation, AI + medical is our chromosome detection project to really popularize to every family.

Molecular detection techniques such as NIPT can only detect the abnormal number of three chromosomes at one time, and are only suitable for detecting fetuses, and if there are twins, previous birth twins, previous blood transfusion history, etc., they cannot be screened for chromosomal abnormalities through NIPT.

The "chromosome analysis" technology of Dexi Bio can be applied to the pre-pregnancy chromosome detection project of adults, the detection of amniotic fluid chromosomes of the fetus, the classification and diagnosis of various blood diseases, and can also be used for the physical examination of radiation occupational diseases and other scenarios.

We can't ignore the health of the next generation, chromosome testing is the guarantee of each of us who will become parents, childbirth is the top priority in our lives, and the safety factor is naturally particularly important. By popularizing chromosome testing, we can minimize the rate of birth defects and work together with the next generation to live happily.

Making life a better inheritance is the expectation of each and every one of us.
