Market development for an innovative digital health product providing precise fertility testing for men.

自1973年以来，男性的生育率下降了57%，但没有人知道原因。由于专家们仍然依赖于在显微镜下用眼睛检查男性的精液样本，因此没有足够的定量数据。虽然众所周知肥胖、高温和化学物质会影响男性的生育力，但到目前为止，由于没有方便而准确的测量方法，研究很少。我的名字是蒂凡尼·伍德博士，我是Dyneval有限公司的首席执行官，该公司于2022年3月向牲畜生产市场推出了一种新产品，使农民、兽医和遗传公司能够对公牛精液进行测量，以提高受孕率。这是基于我的联合创始人文森特·马丁内斯博士的发明，他开发了一种基于统计物理学的算法，从通过新鲜且有活力的精液样本的光强度波动中提取描述精液质量的关键参数。该基金现已成功地应用于英国、美国和阿根廷的畜牧业生产。我热衷于利用这笔女性创新基金，通过发展合作伙伴关系、生成数据和获得专家建议来帮助我们进入人类生育市场，帮助我们为人类生育市场做好准备。成为一名获奖者将帮助我获得技能并建立我所需的网络，以帮助我们的业务适应和高效增长。

Men's fertility has fallen by 57% since 1973 but no-one knows why. There is insufficient quantitative data because experts still rely on examining a man's semen sample by eye under a microscope. Although obesity, heat and chemicals are known to affect men's fertility there is very little research because there is no convenient and precise method for measurement, until now.My name is Dr Tiffany Wood and I am the CEO co-founder of Dyneval Ltd, a company that launched a new product to the livestock production market in March 2022 to enable farmers, vets and genetics companies to perform measurements on bull semen to improve conception rates. This was based on the invention of my co-founder, Dr Vincent Martinez, who developed an algorithm based on statistical physics to extract key parameters describing semen quality from the fluctuations of light intensity passing through a fresh and motile semen sample. This is now being used successfully in livestock production in the UK, US and Argentina.I am keen to use this Women in Innovation funding to help us prepare for the human fertility market through developing partnerships, generating data and gaining expert advice to help us enter the human fertility market. Being an award winner will help me gain the skills and build the network I require to help our business adapt and grow efficiently.
