Legacy software: CYMON IVF-GIFT

The CYMON IVF/GIFT program allows registration and statistical analysis of all data of procedures of assisted reproduction such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT). Today, CYMON IVF/GIFT has proven to be the most user-friendly, clinic oriented and flexible program available for the registration and analysis of data of cycle monitoring and procedures of assisted reproduction.

The present version (Version 4.00) of the CYMON IVF/GIFT program can be integrated in a network configuration.

Export of data to virtually all data-bases, statistical programs and word processors is possible by means of an additional program module. Import of cycle monitoring data from other programs is also possible.

The top of the scale for hands-free data entry is the CYMON SPEECH Module. This system allows to enter observations on e.g. follicular diameter, oocyte grade and embryo development by means of speech using both speech generation and speech recognition. CYMON SPEECH is tailor made to accommodate the specific terms the user wishes to include.

CYMON IVF/GIFT is developed using Thoroughbred Basic. The first version was released in 1989. The program was commercialized by FertiPro NV.
