Abstract: A system and method by which a catheter tube may be automatically driven to a target location within the body of a subject, such as an enteral cavity or respiratory tract of the subject. The catheter tube may include an imaging device, a transceiver, a spectrometer, and a battery embedded in a tube wall at a distal end of the catheter tube. The imaging device may capture image data of structures proximal to the distal end of the catheter tube. An articulated stylet may be inserted in the catheter tube, which may be controlled by a robotic control engine according to navigation data generated by an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on the topographical image data. The spectrometer may sample and identify biomarkers proximal to the catheter tube. A remote computer may implement the robotic control engine and AI model and may wirelessly receive the image data from the transceiver.

Abstract: An indwelling catheter surveillance system which can detect and distinguish a clean catheter system from one with bacterial colonization and from one with bacterial infection. This is done using a micro-spectroscopy system placed on the outside of an indwelling catheter's drainage tube with analysis being facilitated using machine learning algorithms. This system is based on the ability to leverage the analysis of bacteria and biomarkers in liquid bio samples at the patient's bedside, in real time to deliver a mobile, continuous, point of care, disposable and cost-effective solution. This represents a feasible and scalable system for resolving the problem of infections in indwelling catheter systems.
