## Resource

Dr. Gerry Tolbert joins us to tell us why he's so excited for a robotic system to draw blood and what hurdles it will need to overcome to get widespread acceptance. And yes, his name is pronounced Jerry, not Gary, which Tom knows, but Gerry was too nice to correct him during the show.  https://thenextweb.com/news/vitestro-aletta-fda-robotic-blood-draw https://academic.oup.com/clinchem/article/72/8/845/8566288?login=false https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05878483 Hosted on Acast.
