Why the company was created

CheckCells was founded to completely solve male infertility in our lifetime. Andrology has been stuck for decades: manual, inconsistent, and too slow for the patients who need it. We're building category-defining men's health technology to fix that, permanently.

What's next

The roadmap.

1

Semen Analysis AI

We built the most efficient, affordable, accurate automated semen analysis available today.

2

AI Sperm Search & Selection

Retrofit the embryoscope for ICSI by engineering a motorized-stage integration. The team is evaluating three hardware design candidates to enable automated, AI-guided sperm search directly on the ICSI workstation.

3

Semen Liquid Biopsy for Prostate Cancer

Use the fertility patient base to detect prostate cancer at its molecular onset, since cancer RNA is up to 1 million times more concentrated in semen than in blood or urine.
