Complementing the scientific insights, Weylin Liew, Co-founder of Fertility Support SG, shared her personal journey with fertility challenges, including successfully conceiving two sets of twins through gestational surrogacy in the United States as a final attempt at family building.

The summit continued with a session by Dr Michael Coburn, Professor and Chair of Department of Urology at Baylor College of Medicine, who presented clinical and research applications from the Baylor Urology Sperm Cryobank.  The session opened with an impromptu Q&A featuring live case studies and clinical scenarios from the GenPrime network of clinics, sparking insightful discussions and the exchange of best practices.

She introduced  key concepts such as “ Time to Baby”, “Dollars to Baby,” and “Life Disruption to Baby”, highlighting strategies to optimize these factors for better patient outcomes. Showcasing Rhea Labs’ AI diagnostic tools, Dr. Hudson illustrated how advancements in predictive accuracy for embryo implantation are revolutionizing personalized treatments within clinic networks like GenPrime.

The summit demonstrated the transformative impact of collaboration, innovation, and personal resilience in fertility care. By combining cutting-edge technology with real-life experiences and clinical advancements, it reinforced the power of collective efforts to overcome challenges and shape the future of reproductive health, offering renewed hope for those striving to build their families.
