Self-operated Endo-vaginal Telemonitoring (SOET), an Economic and Patient-empowered Method for Ovarian Stimulation for In-vitro Fertilization (IVF)

The SOET project introduces a new strategy for routine follow-up of follicle growth during the hormonal treatment phase of an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycle. After a learning instruction and demo, patients should be able to perform most of their vaginal echoes at home. The images can be sent to the medical center over the internet. These images are analyzed by the expert.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Woman, suffering from subfertility.

Treatment and study plan

Perform Echo at home.

Device

A group of women that follows an IVF treatment, will perform their echoes at home, instead of always make an appointment in the clinic.

Other names: A home echo system will be used to perform an echo.

Primary outcomes

  1. Higher efficacy by taking an echo at home.

    Time frame: Every 2 days, up to a year.

    During an IVF treatment, women are asked to perform the echo themselves, at home. This should create higher efficacy: patients are less stressed and can choose the moment of taking the echo themselves. Furthermore, this should result in a more cost effective and time saving way.
