Would you let a robot draw your blood sample? Well, it seems you should. This is a really comprehensive study of artificial intelligence's potential to augment professionals' skills! A portable robotic device is capable of introducing needles and catheters into deformable tissues such as blood vessels to draw blood or deliver fluids autonomously. Studies on volunteers demonstrate that it can segment, classify, localize and track peripheral vessels in the presence of anatomical variability and motion. It can even improve success rates and procedure times compared to manual cannulations by trained operators. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #study #research #artificialintelligence #ai …see more
