Revenue model

1. Medical consultation fees: Initial consultations and follow-up appointments for fertility assessment and treatment monitoring. Online consultation available with up to 3 months of follow-up included.
2. Assisted reproduction treatments: Revenue from fertility treatments including artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, Super-ICSI, egg/sperm donation programs, shared egg donation, vitrification, and surrogacy arrangements. Treatment costs are primarily service-based with some shared cost programs (shared egg donation where recipients help subsidize donors' medication costs).
3. Shared egg donation program: Women who need IVF and can donate part of their eggs to another patient do not pay for the treatment, only for medications. This reduces financial barriers while generating service revenue.

Products and services

• Fertilização in Vitro (FIV) In vitro fertilization treatment that induces multiple egg production through high hormone doses, harvests eggs before ovulation, fertilizes them in the laboratory with selected sperm, and transfers resulting embryos to the uterus. Targets couples with infertility who have not conceived through other methods.
• Inseminação Artificial Intrauterine insemination procedure involving hormonal stimulation of ovulation followed by laboratory-processed sperm transferred to the uterine cavity during ovulation. A lower-cost option compared to IVF, with approximately 15% pregnancy success rate.
• Super-ICSI Intracytoplasmic sperm injection technique using high-magnification microscopy to select morphologically normal spermatozoa. Designed for difficult infertility cases including male factor infertility and patients with multiple failed IVF/ICSI attempts elsewhere.
• OCTAX ICSI Guard Computer-assisted ICSI technique using polarized light microscopy and special filters to visualize the meiotic spindle during sperm injection, increasing fertilization rates and improving embryo selection for transfer.
• Assisted Hatching Laser application technique on the zona pellucida to assist embryo implantation, particularly beneficial for patients with repeated IVF failures or thickened zona pellucida.
• Vitrificação Advanced cryopreservation of gametes and embryos at -196°C using liquid nitrogen, including oocyte cryopreservation since 2009. Clinical pregnancy rates with frozen embryos exceed 25%.
• Doação de Óvulos Egg donation program where anonymous donors provide oocytes for recipients, including a shared donation program allowing donors undergoing IVF to share costs. Targets women with ovarian failure, genetic diseases, or repeated IVF failure.
• Doação de Esperma Sperm donation from anonymous donors through sperm bank for couples with male factor infertility or single women.
• Tratamento para Casais Homoafetivos Assisted reproduction services for same-sex couples, including intrauterine insemination, IVF, and the ROPA method for female couples; IVF with donor sperm and surrogacy arrangement for male couples.
• Tratamento para Sorodiscordantes Semen purification technique combined with IVF for serodiscordant couples where the male partner is HIV-positive and the female partner is HIV-negative, allowing pregnancy without risk of HIV transmission.
• Método ROPA Shared IVF method for female same-sex couples where one partner provides the eggs and the other partner carries the pregnancy, allowing both to participate biologically in the conception process.
• Programa de Doação Compartilhada de Óvulos Cost-sharing program where women needing IVF who can donate part of their oocytes do not pay for the IVF treatment itself, only for medications. Reduces financial barriers while expanding the donor pool.
• Consulta Online Online video consultation service for initial evaluation and treatment guidance, with up to three months of follow-up included. Patients submit personal details, medical history, previous treatment information, and examination results for specialist review. Accessible nationally.

• Materbaby: Brazilian fertility and reproductive medicine center that participated alongside CRH in the niPGT multi-center validation study. Overlapping service portfolio and patient market.
• Embryolife: Brazilian fertility clinic participating in CRH's multi-center niPGT studies. Directly comparable on IVF, ICSI, and embryology services and a frequent research collaborator.
• Ferticlin: Brazilian fertility clinic and CRH's research partner in the multi-center niPGT validation study. Offers a comparable IVF/ICSI menu and is a peer across both clinical services and reproductive science.

Broad incumbents
