Sperm Bank Partnership FAQ

Question 1

How does Hera help optimize sperm donor quality?

Accepted Answer

Hera provides comprehensive assessment combining AI-powered analysis with physician review. Unlike traditional screening that simply accepts or rejects donors, we identify specific optimization opportunities through targeted interventions including lifestyle modifications, supplement protocols, and evidence-based recommendations. This helps promising candidates meet quality standards they might otherwise fall short of.

Question 2

What makes Hera different from traditional donor screening?

Accepted Answer

Traditional screening is binary - donors either pass or fail. Hera takes a development approach. We provide actionable insights for improvement, helping borderline candidates optimize their parameters over 2-3 months. Our AI analysis identifies specific areas for improvement, and our MD review ensures medical accuracy. This expands your donor pool by salvaging promising candidates.

Question 3

How does the partnership process work?

Accepted Answer

The process is simple: you refer donor candidates to Hera, we coordinate all testing through our nationwide lab network, provide comprehensive analysis with AI and MD review, give candidates personalized optimization guidance, and track their progress over time. We handle the operational burden while you focus on final selection and donor relationships.

Question 4

What lab network does Hera use?

Accepted Answer

Hera partners with 500+ CLIA-certified laboratories across all 50 states. This nationwide coverage enables convenient testing for donors regardless of location, expanding your geographic reach beyond local candidates. All labs meet strict quality standards and provide consistent, reliable results.

Question 5

How long does the optimization process take?

Accepted Answer

Sperm quality improvements typically become measurable within 60-90 days, as the sperm production cycle is approximately 74 days. We provide baseline assessment, personalized recommendations, and track progress with follow-up testing. Most candidates who follow our protocols show meaningful improvement within 2-3 months.

Question 6

Is the process HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. All data handling, storage, and transmission is fully HIPAA compliant. We use bank-level encryption, secure data centers, and strict access controls. Donor information is protected at every step, and we maintain detailed audit trails for compliance documentation.

Question 7

Can Hera integrate with our existing screening workflow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we design our services to integrate seamlessly with your existing processes. We can adapt our workflows to match your specific requirements, screening criteria, and operational needs. Whether you need us to handle the entire process or just specific components, we work with your team to create a custom solution.

Question 8

What parameters does Hera analyze?

Accepted Answer

We analyze all WHO 2021 semen analysis parameters including sperm count, concentration, motility (total and progressive), morphology, volume, pH, and vitality. Our AI also identifies patterns and trends across multiple samples, providing predictive insights about donor quality trajectories.
