This seems to be the future of blood draws for tests. No more missed veins, bruised arms, or anxious waits — as claimed by the makers.
Vitestro’s Aletta is an autonomous, AI-powered robot that maps veins with Doppler ultrasound, inserts the needle, collects samples, and bandages the site — all without any human touch. It is already CE-marked and running in European hospitals, where one supervisor can oversee multiple units.
It boasts a 95% first-stick success rate, 98% patient acceptance, and pain levels equal to or better than those of humans. Northwestern Medicine has just teamed up for U.S. trials, aiming for FDA clearance.
I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:
• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self
Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…
Here are my top 8:
On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for an attack on an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.
As the attack developed, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 🧵
very disappointed that I didn’t find out until I moved to Arizona that there is a such thing as JUMPING cactus that attack when you get too close and once they feel moisture they start to grow into you so you have to immediately rip them out???!
@cisforcalogero@OneWicht@DeItaOne Medicine, but it doesn’t seem like any credentials will be enough to prove anything to you. This “smooth brain” will leave you with this. Have a good one https://t.co/ujpyLwhBjU
@cisforcalogero@OneWicht@DeItaOne I’m all for rebranding an existing FDA treatment to prevent or cure COVID, but you can’t be reckless about it. There simply isn’t enough data out to show that HCQ will help.
