The autonomous robotic phlebotomy system uses imaging, robotics, and AI to identify veins and complete routine diagnostic blood draws.
Utrecht, Netherlands-based medical robotics company Vitestro has launched a new website and released its first public video demonstrating the Aletta autonomous robotic phlebotomy device performing a diagnostic blood draw.
The video shows the complete blood draw process from arm positioning through sample collection completion. The Aletta system combines multimodal imaging, robotics, and artificial intelligence to identify suitable veins, guide needle insertion, and collect blood samples. The device is designed to support phlebotomy departments by performing routine diagnostic blood draws while addressing staffing challenges and reducing human-dependent variability.
“As we bring autonomous robotic phlebotomy into routine clinical practice, it is essential that healthcare professionals and patients clearly understand how the technology works and how it integrates into real-world care delivery,” says Toon Overbeeke, chief executive officer of Vitestro, in a release. “By making our technology and clinical workflow more visible, we are enabling informed adoption, building confidence, and supporting the responsible establishment of a new standard for diagnostic blood collection.”
Clinical Workflow Integration
The video demonstrates the blood draw experience from both patient and clinical workflow perspectives, showing how the system fits into existing care delivery models. The device is intended to standardize quality, enhance patient experience, and enable greater operational predictability in high-volume clinical environments.
The new website provides an overview of Vitestro and the Aletta technology, including its intended diagnostic use and role in clinical laboratory and outpatient care settings. The platform serves as the primary location for the newly released demonstration video.
The system aims to help laboratories address operational challenges while maintaining precision and consistency in blood sample collection. Vitestro positions the technology as supporting the establishment of autonomous robotic phlebotomy as a standard for diagnostic blood collection.
