IFFS and ISA have issued a new joint Practice Guideline

The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) and the International Society of Andrology (ISA) are pleased to share a newly published clinical practice guideline promoting inclusive, evidence-based sexual and reproductive healthcare.

The guideline integrates three interconnected areas:

* Sexuality
* Infertility
* Contraception

It advocates for a holistic, biopsychosocial approach that includes early multidisciplinary infertility management, expanded contraceptive options and comprehensive sexual health education.

IFFS and ISA encourage healthcare professionals and policymakers to consider these recommendations as a standardized package of care supporting reproductive autonomy, equitable access and universal health coverage.

What if AI stopped looking only at the embryo and started looking at the patient?

AI is rapidly transforming reproductive medicine, with much of the focus centred on embryo assessment. But what about the patients themselves?

In this video, Dr Demián Glujovsky, fertility specialist and researcher, raises an important question: What happens if we finally point these tools at the patient?

It’s a question that goes beyond technology and towards how digital tools could help us better understand the patient journey and improve fertility care.

Want to hear more?

Join Dr Glujovsky in Brisbane at the IFFS 26th World Congress 2027 for the symposium: Digital Platforms in ART Practice

Discover how digital platforms and emerging technologies are reshaping assisted reproductive technology and where AI could take us next.

Could the next frontier of AI in fertility care be the patient? Find out in Brisbane.
