A robot just replaced the human who draws your blood, and it is already inside European hospitals right now. The device called Aletta is CE-marked, the European equivalent of FDA approval and it is already operating on real patients. Vitestro built a machine that maps your veins using AI powered Doppler ultrasound, locks onto the right one with submillimeter precision, inserts the needle, fills the tubes, removes the needle and applies the bandage completely on its own. No human hands touch you during the procedure and one trained supervisor can oversee up to three of these machines running simultaneously. And 98% of patients who went through it said they would accept the procedure again. The machine does not care if your veins are difficult or your skin tone, body type, or whether past draws were painful. It finds a vein on almost every patient regardless and roughly 1.4 billion blood draws happen in the United States alone every single year. Every one of those is currently done by a human being and that human has a job title, phlebotomist. There are roughly 130,000 of them working in the US today and that job is now directly in the crosshairs of this technology. Northwestern Medicine, one of the most prestigious hospital systems in America already signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with Vitestro to bring this machine to US hospitals.

🇩🇪Absolute masterclass in road discipline on the German Autobahn! When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, a crystal-clear emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles can fly through at full speed. It’s the law in Germany and Austria, and it literally saves lives. This is how you do it!
