The method measures properties or characteristics of the entire blastocyst; extracts characteristics by identifying different cell types, mainly blastocyst structures and patterns, without extracting characteristics of the first cell divisions and the behaviour thereof over time; and predicts the prognosis of pregnancy and/or ploidy (result of genetic study and successful implantation), using micrographs standardised for the management thereof and by means of sequential preprocessing and machine learning algorithms implemented in a computer in order to rank the potential of a set of embryos, to obtain a successful, live, full-term pregnancy.
