System design and development of a robotic device for automated venipuncture and diagnostic blood cell analysis

IROS 2016poster

Diagnostic blood testing is the most prevalent medical procedure performed in the world and forms the cornerstone of modern health care delivery. Yet blood tests are still predominantly carried out in centralized labs using large-volume samples acquired by manual venipuncture, and no end-to-end solu…

Real-time needle steering in response to rolling vein deformation by a 9-DOF image-guided autonomous venipuncture robot

IROS 2015poster

Venipuncture is the most common invasive medical procedure performed in the United States and the number one cause of hospital injury. Failure rates are particularly high in pediatric and elderly patients, whose veins tend to deform, move, or roll as the needle is introduced. To improve venipuncture…
