Fenomatch - The Facial Matching Tool for Donor Selection

Friday May 05, 2023

Welcome to the 6th episode of Season 4 of the Fertility Conversations Podcast.

Today, we are joined by Sergio Gonsalez of Fenomatch https://www.instagram.com/fenomatch/?hl=en

Sergio joins us to educate us about Fenomatch; a facial matching tool for donor selection. He highlights all the benefits of using Fenomatch during donor selection instead of the traditional method where clinics spend hours trying to review pictures of available donors and compare with photos of patients.

Fenomatch is an Artificial Intelligence-based platform for fertility clinics and egg and sperm banks. It enables Fertility centres to choose the most suitable donor for each patient and improve the selection process at all levels.

Fenomatch offers an all in one platform to find the right donor through phenotypic, genetic and biometric comparison. Also, it provides a management system for the donor database as well as a continuous encrypted connection with other assisted reproduction centers. The more the number of donors, the better the selection for the patient.

In addition, Fenomatch provides extra security, decreasing the human error and helping automating the selection process by establishing an intern protocol for such donor selection.

Join us to listen to incredible episode about Fenomatch and the benefits of clinics using this tool in their donor selection. If you are a patient, do have your clinic listen to this episode to highlight the many benefits of Fenomatch. And if you are a clinic, do reach out to Fenomatch to put this tool to test.

To connect with Sergio at Fenomatch, you can contact him via email; info@fenomatch.com
