Kanakasabapathy et al (2017) An automated smartphone‐based diagnostic assay for point‐of‐care semen analysis. Science Translational Medicine 9(382); 22 Mar 2017 doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aai7863

“ 1. Processing individual frames of the recorded video and extracting coordinates [...] 2. Tracking the observed positions of sperm across frames by mapping their paths.”

1. very low concentrations
2. high concentrations
Motility and concentration assessment by CASA follow the same principles, regardless of platform
