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.
