First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new device that uses artificial intelligence and ultrasound to help healthcare workers find veins for blood draws. 190 adults each had blood drawn from both arms—one with the device and one the traditional way. Researchers compared success rates, pain, and time to see if the device works as well or better than manual methods.
