Currently, there is no method for automating safe deployment of a cannula into a patient who needs to undergo extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The goal of this project is to automate the cannulation procedure to improve reliability and expand ECMO access, which is constrained by limited ECMO-trained physicians. The Lifemotion Clinic team was tasked with the design and rapid iteration of an electromechanical device for enhancing cannulation efficiency.
