Abstract: Disclosed is a video laryngoscope that automatically adjusts display of a portion of an acquired image. The video laryngoscope may detect patient anatomy and/or a tool present in an image captured by a camera of the video laryngoscope. Detection of patient anatomy and/or a tool may be performed via image recognition rules and/or machine learning (ML) models. Based at least on the detected tool(s), a portion of the acquired image may be selected for display. For example, a display region of an acquired image may be selected to include both detected patient anatomy and a portion of a detected tool. Display of the acquired images may be progressively adjusted as a detected tool moves toward or away from the patient anatomy, until a maximum or minimum display region is reached.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatic steering of a blind introducer based on images from an independent camera (e.g., a camera of a video laryngoscope) are disclosed. A real time image of a video laryngoscope may be analyzed by a trained ML model to output a classification for the image. The classification may be associated with steering instructions for an introducer. The steering instructions may be provided to the introducer to cause steering of a distal end of the introducer in real time. The trained ML model may be generated by AI or ML training algorithms, based on multiple sets of multiple still-shot training images associated with a finite quantity of classifications.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a catheter navigation system that includes a catheter comprising a steerable distal tip including a proximity sensor. The system also includes a catheter controller. The catheter controller includes a processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the catheter controller to perform operations. The operations may include receiving, from the catheter, a proximity signal generated by the proximity sensor, identifying a steering target based on the proximity signal, and generating a steering signal to steer the steerable distal tip towards the steering target.
