About this episode
Could a robot perform trachea intubation? How about letting AI guide clinicians and paramedics in inserting the tube into people's airways?You’ll hearwhat is tracheal intubation and why it is far from putting a straw in a bottlewhat can go tragically wronghow long do anaestesiologists perfect the skill and how much less some other specializations have traininghow to train AI in intubationcan a robot do the joband also, Alex's attempt to intubate a manekinPhilippe Ganz is the CEO and co-founder of aiEndoscopic. With background in aeronautical engineering he switched to physics that he found too theoretical and ended up happily with biomedical engineering.aiEndoscopic is a Swiss seed-stage startup that developed larynGuide an AI assisted guiding software for safer video laryngoscopy. Think: guided tracheal intubation for beginners. A fully robotic solution, IntuBot, comes next.
