A toddler was admitted, and several nurses attempted to insert an IV needle into one of the child\u2019s tiny veins. Each time they missed the vessel, the child screamed more shrilly, and the mother grew more worried.<\/p>\n<p>There has to be a better way, thought Yarmush, now a professor of biomedical engineering at Rutgers University. The incident changed his outlook on medicine. Thoroughly unnerved by the anguish he\u2019d witnessed, Yarmush started to imagine what would happen if the process of drawing blood could be automated.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to advances in sensors and artificial intelligence that have improved the quality and lowered the cost of robotics, they are now developing a blood-draw robot small enough for clinicians to carry in their pockets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovermagazine.com\/health\/someday-a-robot-might-draw-your-blood\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The July\/August issue of Discover features an article about the groundbreaking research coming out of Professor Martin Yarmush&#8217;s lab&#8211;developing a robotic blood-drawing device that has particularbenefits for those with small &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/rutgers-at-bmes\/someday-a-robot-may-draw-your-blood\/\" class=\"\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":201,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faculty-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Someday a robot may draw your blood. - BMES<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/rutgers-at-bmes\/someday-a-robot-may-draw-your-blood\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Someday a robot may draw your blood. - BMES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The July\/August issue of Discover features an article about the groundbreaking research coming out of Professor Martin Yarmush&#8217;s lab&#8211;developing a robotic blood-drawing device that has particularbenefits for those with small &hellip; Read More\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/rutgers-at-bmes\/someday-a-robot-may-draw-your-blood\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"BMES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-06-16T01:33:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-10-04T01:52:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/bmes-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/722\/2021\/10\/VeniBot_Demo-150x150.jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"David I.
