Enhancing Vascular Access Precision through Ultrasound Guidance
FY 2024-25 · 2024-11-11
Summary
This project integrates two synergistic components to advance ultrasound-guided catheterization: the development of a lightweight exoskeleton and a VR training module. The exoskeleton enhances precision and stability, allowing healthcare professionals to perform catheterizations with one-handed attachment and maintaining needle control within the ultrasound plane, reducing complications and adhering to the ANTT technique. The VR module offers realistic training scenarios to improve proficiency, simulating clinical conditions with accurate procedural feedback. Together, these innovations aim to democratize ultrasound-guided procedures, enhancing accessibility, reducing risks, and improving patient safety.

The exoskeleton enhances precision and stability, allowing healthcare professionals to perform catheterizations with one-handed attachment and maintaining needle control within the ultrasound plane, reducing complications and adhering to the ANTT technique.

Description (French)
Ce projet intègre deux composantes synergiques pour faire progresser le cathétérisme guidé par ultrasons : le développement d’un exosquelette léger et d’un module de formation en réalité virtuelle. L’exosquelette améliore la précision et la stabilité, permettant aux professionnels de santé d’effectuer des cathétérismes avec une seule main et de maintenir le contrôle de l’aiguille dans le plan échographique, ce qui réduit les complications et permet de respecter la technique ANTT. Le module de réalité virtuelle propose des scénarios de formation réalistes pour améliorer les compétences, en simulant des conditions cliniques avec de la rétroaction précise sur la procédure. Ensemble, ces innovations visent à démocratiser les procédures guidées par échographie, en améliorant l’accessibilité, en réduisant les risques et en améliorant la sécurité des patients.
