Dr. Zaher Merhi, a reproductive endocrinologist, founded Aurea Fertility Center in New York to innovate fertility treatments through artificial intelligence.

In contrast, Merhi's clinic uses AI tools to tailor medication doses based on each patient's hormonal profile, significantly reducing medication waste by over 70%.
