The World Health Organization recognizes smartphones as being a great tool for sperm analysis as they are equipped with high-quality digital cameras.
This is the total amount of sperm cells moving forward per ejaculate. This number is one of the best predictors of male fertility because it measures the amount of sperm cells that could possibly reach the egg
after intercourse.
The number is made up of the three measurements: volume, concentration, and motility.

A recent study found that improving sperm quality increased the number of healthy embryos by more than half a key factor for IVF success.
Each IVF cycle costs thousands. Improving sperm early may mean 1 round instead of 3.
Testing sperm upfront avoids wasted cycles and shortens the path to pregnancy.
Short Answer: The process is designed to be easy and is done entirely from home. You use the kit with your smartphone to analyze your sample, and the app provides your results in minutes. Our in-house fertility experts then manually review every test for your peace of mind.
More information: In order to test your semen, your doctor will ask you to provide a semen sample. Normally, you ejaculate into a collection cup in a room at your doctor’s office. The sample is then assessed under a microscope, which will give useful information about the specific functions of your sperm cells (i.e. the likelihood of a sample resulting in a pregnant partner). Normal sperm tests track the volume (amount of semen), concentration (how many sperm cells you have per milliliter of semen, motility (the amount of moving sperm cells), and total motile sperm count (the total amount of moving sperm cells in one ejaculate). Some male fertility tests additionally assess features like morphology (the appearance of sperm cells), pH, color, the presence of other cell types and liquefaction time.
The ExSeed Home Sperm Test provides you with: Volume, concentration, motility and the total motile sperm count, which is similar to what many clinics assess. This is because the total motile sperm count is the one number that has been most highly associated with chance of pregnancy (1).
The most common diagnoses for a semen analysis include: Hypospermia: If there is a low volume Oligospermia: If there is a low amount of sperm cells Azoospermia: If there are no sperm at all Asthenozoospermia: If there is a large amount of sperm cells that does not move Tetrazoospermia: If there is a large amount of abnormal sperm cells. Leukospermia: If there is a large amount of round cells/white blood cells in the sample. Necrospermia: If there is a large amount of dead sperm cells.
Short Answer: Yes. Its accuracy is over 95% when compared to advanced laboratory equipment, meaning your score is extremely likely to reflect reality.
More Information:
Sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly identify true positive cases. In the case of the ExSeed Home Sperm Test Kit, it means that it can accurately determine if a person has a semen quality below normal.
In the context of sperm testing, our high percentages of these 3 measurements mean that ExSeed’s algorithmic analysis produces results that are extremely close to your true Total Motile Sperm Count, correctly identifying anyone with normal or below normal scores as per the WHO’s reference values with a high degree of certainty. Additionally, ExSeed’s medical team review all test samples, as in standard practice in clinics and labs.
In relative terms, ExSeed’s level of Sensitivity (95.24%) & Specificity (94.90%) are comparable to home pregnancy tests. They perform better than sperm tests which require samples to be sent away to the lab because studies have shown that semen quality can degrade during shipment. (1)
The ExSeed Home Sperm Test has also been externally evaluated through participation in the UK National External Quality Assessment Service (NEQAS) program, demonstrating strong alignment with reference laboratory measurements. Read the full external quality control summary here.
Most home sperm tests are very simple tests that are easy to use. In difficulty they are similar to a pregnancy test. This is also the case for our home sperm test which is easy to use and interpret. If you are in doubt about your result or how to test, we are always here to help. See our instruction video to see how easy it really is:
Short Answer: The ExSeed test measures your Total Motile Sperm Count, which is the total number of forward-moving sperm cells in your entire ejaculate. That number is one of the best predictors of male fertility because it specifically measures the amount of sperm that could successfully reach the egg after intercourse.
More Information: The ExSeed Home Sperm test tracks the same parameters that you would get in most clinics. These includes; volume (amount of semen), concentration (how many sperm cells you have per milliliter of semen, motility (the amount of moving sperm cells), and total motile sperm count (the total amount of moving sperm cells in one ejaculate). This is because the total motile sperm count is the one number that has been most highly associated with chance of pregnancy

The app provides an immediate and detailed health report. The reports can be shared with doctors to help inform any further conversations about your fertility health.
ExSeed’s Home Test has not been certified to assess whether there are no sperm cells present or the effectiveness of various methods of contraception, both temporary and permanent (like vasectomy). Therefore, we would not be able to provide a conclusive answer based on our home test. That being said, a relatively large number of people have used ExSeed to give an indication on whether there are live sperm cells present post-operation or in other circumstances.
In the app, there is a button you can click on to indicate you’ve had a vasectomy, which will make the Medical Team do an extra careful manual assessment (visual inspection) of the test as well.
Sperm quality plays a major role in whether IVF treatment is successful. On average, most couples go through 2.5 IVF cycles before achieving pregnancy, and each additional cycle can cost £7,000–£8,000 plus months of emotional strain.
Research shows that improving sperm health can boost IVF success rates by up to 50%. That means couples may achieve pregnancy in the first round instead of needing multiple cycles — saving thousands of pounds, reducing stress, and giving every attempt the best chance to succeed.
With an at-home test like ExSeed, men can check their sperm health early and track improvements over time. Lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, sleep, or quitting smoking can lead to measurable improvements in just 3 months, giving IVF treatment a stronger foundation from the very start.
After you get your result, you get free access to a personalized in-app program. The program provides valuable tips and a tailored plan intended to help you improve your overall health and sperm quality.
Yes. We use the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. According to it, sperm concentration below 15 million sperm cells/mL is considered oligospermia. If no sperm cells are present at all, it is called Azoospermia.
In addition to the AI-powered analysis which is over 95% accurate, every test is manually reviewed by our in-house fertility experts. This provides an extra layer of quality control and peace of mind. You also have access to our medical team to answer any questions.
