IVF EMR software compared (2026): thirteen fertility EMRs, from the vendors' own pages
Vendors change fast. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it and note the change.
The short version. A fertility clinic choosing an EMR is choosing three things at once: a clinical record, a lab system with a chain of custody, and the pipe its registry data leaves through. The thirteen products here split cleanly on the third. Six of the eight fertility-specific North American systems name SART reporting; only two name CARTR Plus. After that the useful differences are witnessing (built in or bolted on), hosting (stated or not), and, new this year, how much AI each one now ships inside the record.
We do not sell an EMR. Fertiligent works alongside one: it answers patients, reads referrals and drafts notes, and delivers what it produces into whichever system the clinic runs. Clinics we work with run eIVF, IDEAS, BabySentry, Artisan, MedART and MedITEX, and hospital-based programs run Epic or Cerner. So we have no row in these tables, but we do have an interest: an EMR's interfaces decide how easily anything, ours included, can write into it. Read the interoperability section with that in mind.
Every factual statement below about another company comes from that company's own public pages or an official press release, fetched on 9 October 2026 and linked in the references. Where a vendor does not state something publicly, the entry says not stated publicly. It does not say "no". An EMR is sold through a long demo and a longer contract, and most of these companies will tell you in a call what they have not put on a page.
What this compares on, and what it ignores
The usual EMR comparison ranks on ease of use, scheduling and price. The first cannot be judged from public pages, the second is table stakes, and the third is almost never published (one product here publishes a price). So the dimensions are the ones that make a fertility EMR different from a general one:
- Registry reporting: SART CORS in the United States, CARTR Plus in Canada.
- Embryology and cryostorage: a lab module with a chain of custody, not a notes field.
- Electronic witnessing: built in, or through RI Witness, Matcher or another system.
- Deployment and hosting: cloud or on-premises, and whether the vendor says where data lives.
- Interoperability: named standards (HL7, FHIR), named hospital systems, an API.
- Patient app and billing: whether they come with it.
- AI: what each vendor now claims, and whether it runs inside the record.
Two groups
The first group is sold in North America, with US or Canadian offices, named North American customers or both: eIVF, Artisan, IDEAS, BabySentry, Fertility Pro, nAbleIVF, Bloomic, Meditab's FertilityEHR and EpicCare Fertility. The second is sold mainly elsewhere but turns up in the same searches and in multinational clinic groups: MedITEX, MedART, eBase and Vitrify. A US or Canadian clinic will usually choose from the first group; the second is here so that the comparison it is shown does not leave half the market out.

Epic's two rows are almost empty, and that is not a judgement. Epic publishes one sentence about EpicCare Fertility, that it gives REI clinicians "tools to track pertinent medical and fertility information throughout the course of patients' fertility treatment cycles"[30], and sells everything else through the health system. Its public data dictionary does include infertility-cycle and embryology tables[31], so the data model exists. A fertility center inside a hospital already on Epic has a strong default, and the question for that center is less which EMR than what Epic's fertility module does for its lab.
Reading the North American group
eIVF makes the largest market claim on this page: "Trusted by clinics managing one-third of all fertility cycles in the U.S."[2] Its strength on the published evidence is breadth of connection: a 2026 ecosystem list names around twenty labs, a dozen pharmacies, imaging and lab equipment makers, and billing partners[6].
Artisan is the most complete public description in the group. Cloud-hosted, built-in witnessing alongside integrations with Matcher and RI Witness, SART reporting by file download, billing with an optional outsourced revenue-cycle service, and a specific AI list: ambient consultation transcription, document OCR and summarization, and message tone detection with suggested replies[8]. It claims "300+ Fertility providers supported" and "500K+ ART cycles tracked"[7], and deployment in seven countries[10]. Its integrations document also shows that some of its AI and analytics partners (Alife, Cercle, FertilAI) sit outside the EMR[9], which is worth understanding before you sign a data-processing agreement.
IDEAS, from Mellowood Medical in Toronto, is offered on-premises or in the cloud[11]. It names interfaces to hospital systems "including Cerner and Epic" and claims use in "more than 10 countries and over 100 clinics worldwide"[12]. Two details matter to Canadian buyers. It lists BORN among its registries but never says CARTR Plus[11]; BORN runs the database behind CARTR Plus[35], so this is probably the same thing, but ask. And its patient app's published languages are English, German, Polish, Norwegian, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and simplified Chinese[13]: no French, which a Quebec clinic will want to raise.
BabySentry is the one most often mistaken for something else. It is a full ART management system, "a centralized EMR platform"[15], not a witnessing product, and it has the strongest list of named North American academic customers on this page: Johns Hopkins, Duke, Stanford and the University of Vermont in the United States, and TRIO Fertility, Clinique OVO and McGill in Canada[15]. It names both SART CORS and CARTR Plus[16], interfaces to Epic, Cerner and Dedalus hospital systems, and exports billing as HL7[16]. It does not state a deployment model or hosting location.
Fertility Pro is the clearest answer on this page to a Canadian clinic's two hardest questions. On hosting: a Canadian option where "All of our business partners, consents, payment processors, labs, ultrasounds are also hosted in Canada. Your data will never leave Canada"[19]. On registry: automated CARTR Plus and BORN submission, announced in February 2026[20]. Its patient portal includes French, it connects to Dynacare and provincial billing[19], and it lists AI chart signals that flag missing or contradictory information[18]. It publishes no customer count.
nAbleIVF says it is privately held, with no private-equity or network ownership[24], claims "70+ clinics" and a million completed cycles[21], and has built-in witnessing and the longest AI feature list in the group after Bloomic's: transcription, clinical summarization, coding and patient messaging[22]. It is also one of the few to describe an API publicly, with patient registration and analytics endpoints and nightly database downloads[23], which matters more than it sounds when you eventually want your data somewhere else.
Bloomic is the newest and the most AI-forward: an EMR (Bloomic Core) plus "ten agents" covering scribe, orders, patient communication, voice outreach, triage, intake and document review, with the statement that "Every clinical action still requires a clinician to review and sign off"[27]. It has built-in double witnessing on mobile and SART reporting in the workflow[26]. Its results claims ("74% faster cycle starts", "68% more patients per physician") come from one unnamed fertility network[25], so ask to speak to it. Bloomic is the closest thing on this page to what we build, attached to a record system; if you are replacing your EMR anyway, that combination is its argument.
FertilityEHR, now Meditab's (fertilityehr.com redirects there), describes cryopreservation inventory, chain of custody, donor tracking and an HL7 lab interface, with integrated billing[29]. Its page headline says "AI-Powered" without saying what the AI does[29].
Sold mainly outside North America
| Based in | Deployment | Registries named | Witnessing | Interfaces named | AI claimed | Price published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MedITEX (NEXUS) | Germany | Arranged per clinic[32] | HFEA, ANZARD, DIR, FIVNAT, RetePMA[34] | Partner: RI Witness, eWitness, Matcher[32] | HL7, LDT, REST API[32] | Through partner FertilAI[33] | No; three tiers[32] |
| MedART (Meddilink) | India | SaaS, web and mobile[37] | ESHRE, SART and others[39] | Captures RI Witness, Matcher, Gidget[39] | HL7 v2, FHIR R4, REST[38] | MedAI Scribe, patient chatbot[37] | No |
| eBase (eFertility, Vitrolife) | Netherlands | Cloud or on-site[40] | — | Own eWitness built in[40] | HL7, FHIR, REST[41]; Epic named[40] | — | No |
| Vitrify | UK address | Cloud[42] | — | "Witnessing support"[42] | — | Next-step suggestions[42] | Yes, with a 7-day trial[43] |
— means not stated publicly on the pages checked.
MedITEX is the largest by its own count: "500 Clinics, 14 Languages, 54 Countries"[33], and part of NEXUS AG since 2025[36]. MedART is the one most likely to come up in a scribe conversation, because its AI scribe is built into the EMR; it claims "250+ clinics in 25+ countries"[37]. eBase became part of Vitrolife in 2024[44], which is why it ships with Vitrolife's eWitness. Vitrify is the only product on this page with a published price; its pricing page shows a per-license calculator and a seven-day trial[43].
Four more turned up in the same searches and are worth one line each: IVFID from Türkiye, which sells an EMR alongside its RFID witnessing system[45]; NaturalSoft's VRepro from Spain, cloud-based with RedLARA reporting[46]; FertiSMART, web-based with on-premises or cloud deployment[47]; and Omda Fertsoft from Norway, in use "since the early 1990s"[48].
Witnessing systems are not EMRs
Three names in these tables are witnessing systems, not record systems, and they are often confused with EMRs. RI Witness (CooperSurgical) uses RFID to monitor activity in the IVF laboratory[49]. Matcher is a barcode-based witnessing, labeling and traceability system that integrates with EMRs including Artisan, IDEAS and MedITEX[50]. eWitness (Vitrolife) scans barcode or RFID labels[51]. A clinic can run any of them alongside most of the EMRs above; the question for the EMR is whether the witnessing record lands in the chart or stays in a separate system.
Interoperability, where we have an interest

| eIVF | — | — | — | — |
| Artisan | — | — | Allscripts, athena[9] | — |
| IDEAS | — | — | Cerner, Epic[12] | — |
| BabySentry | Billing export[16] | — | Epic, Cerner, Dedalus[16] | — |
| Fertility Pro | — | — | — | — |

| eBase | Yes[41] | Yes[41] | Epic, SAP, Chipsoft[40] | REST[41] |
— means not stated publicly on the pages checked.
This is the table we care most about and the one with the most dashes. Among the North American fertility systems, none mentions FHIR on its own pages; the two international systems that do are MedART and eBase. Epic publishes FHIR and HL7 developer documentation in general[52], though nothing fertility-specific. In practice almost every one of these systems exchanges data with labs, pharmacies and hospitals through named partner interfaces, and eIVF's partner list alone runs to dozens[6]. What the pages do not tell a clinic is how a new tool, ours or anyone's, would write into the chart. Ask every vendor for that answer in writing: which standard, which resources, one way or two, and what it costs.
For the record, ours: Fertiligent delivers the signed note and clinical events as standard FHIR R4 resources, one way, to endpoints the clinic's administrator configures, and never reads back or alters the chart (how the integration works). Where a clinic's EMR does not accept FHIR, we scope the delivery with the clinic during onboarding.
The AI question
A year ago an EMR comparison would not have had an AI column. Now nine of the thirteen mention AI, one of them through a partner, and the claims are converging on the same list: ambient transcription, summaries, document reading, patient messaging. Three things are worth separating before that column decides anything.
Inside the record or beside it. eIVF's eVA, nAbleIVF's features and Bloomic's agents are described as part of the product. Artisan's own list is native, while some of its AI and analytics partners are separate companies[9]. MedITEX's AI arrives through a partner[33]. Native is simpler to govern; a partner can be better at its one job. Either way, find out where your patients' data goes.
Claimed or described. "AI-Powered" in a headline[29] is a claim. "Every clinical action still requires a clinician to review and sign off"[27] is a description of a control. Ask for the second kind.
Whether you need a second vendor at all. If your EMR's own AI covers what you need, use it. One vendor is simpler than two, and we would rather say so here than lose the argument in your procurement meeting. Where a separate layer earns its place is the work an EMR's AI does not reach: the phone line, the inbox and the fax machine before a patient exists in the record, and a clinic group running more than one EMR.
How to choose, if you are the one deciding
- Start with your registry. In the United States, clinics performing ART report to the CDC by law[53], and SART membership requires annual cycle-level submission[54]. In Canada, CARTR Plus collects from clinics across the country[55]. Ask whether reporting is a native export, a file download or manual work, and ask to see last year's submission produced by the system.
- Then your lab. Decide whether witnessing should be built into the EMR or remain in RI Witness or Matcher, and whether cryostorage inventory drives storage billing. SART membership also requires embryology lab accreditation every two years[54], so look at the audit trail, not just the screens.
- Then where you sit. Inside a health system on Epic or Cerner, interfaces decide almost everything; IDEAS and BabySentry name those interfaces publicly. A practice reporting MIPS Promoting Interoperability needs certified EHR technology; check any vendor's claim on ONC's certified product list[56].
- Get hosting and data ownership in writing. Public answers range from "Your data will never leave Canada"[19] to nothing at all. Ask where data is hosted, who can access it, what a BAA or PHIPA agreement covers, and how you get all of your data out if you leave.
- Ask what the AI sends where. See above. A vague answer is a no.
