IVF Treatment
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Higher efficacy by taking an echo at home. | 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. |
