The TMRW team has conducted multiple scientific studies with leading IVF clinics in the United States and assessed that their technology removes multiple and significant points of risk and potential failure inherent within the existing system. The TMRW solution brings the latest advances in technological safety, providing a new standard of care for delicate eggs and embryos.

The first birth of a live baby conceived through IVF, was in 1978. Since then, methods have advanced considerably, leading to a dramatic increase in IVF success rates.

At the heart of the IVF process are the embryologists. They study sperm, eggs and embryos and can establish which ones are the healthiest to use in the IVF treatment. It’s the embryologists who combine the eggs and sperm for fertilisation and then they monitor them carefully throughout the process. The care, dedication and attention to detail of these medical professionals, plays a vital part in every IVF case.

However, what TMRW discovered, was that the storage system and cryo-management practices that the embryologists have been relying on, have barely evolved in the last 40 years. They realised that they could be modernised, to assist the embryologists and to provide increased security and safety, significantly reducing the risk of natural human error.

As a result, TMRW Life Sciences, have created the world’s first integrated platform for automated, software-guided cryo-specimen management, for the care of the precious frozen eggs and embryos used in IVF.

Who is TMRW?

TMRW is a dedicated team of experts, led by founders who are parents themselves and understand the importance of safeguarding the world’s most precious cells and helping other people to become parents.

“Nothing in my life has been more meaningful or rewarding than being a father. It’s a special privilege to help millions of people, who could not become parents without IVF, to experience the joy of having children. Our work at TMRW ensures that the irreplaceable vitrified eggs and embryos, which are at the heart of nearly every IVF birth, are always safe, secure, and perfectly cared for — and never a cause for anxiety for either clinicians or those looking to start or grow their families.”

— Joshua Abram, Founder & Co-Chairman

The team also includes a chief medical officer, embryologists, a cryogenic expert, quality assurance managers, lead software developers, product engineers and a range of other experts, all working together to create unprecedented levels of safety and security for the IVF process.

How does this new technology work?

TMRW have created a cryo-robot that is put into clinics to improve the security of stored eggs and embryos. TMRW’s software will catalogue and track each specimen, reducing the risk of loss or mis-identification. The TMRW platform will also control the temperature and keep the eggs and embryos in a more stable environment.

Through automated communication as well as a dedicated support team, it will alert the clinic of any issues arising and it has a back-up generator, to ensure that, even in the event of an unexpected power failure, the specimens will be safe. Qualified and experienced embryologists will still be carrying out their important procedures and checks, to provide the best possible care for the precious eggs and embryos.

Will my fertility clinic have access to this ground-breaking technology?

TMRW partners with leading IVF clinics, who will then give their clients the option to have their eggs or embryos stored in this way. The use of this new technology is designed to give peace of mind to clients and medical professionals and to further improve success rates in IVF.
