AI-Enhanced Robotic Clot Manipulation and Removal Systems

The disclosed inventive concept integrates advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and novel materials to create a more powerful and efficient robotic clot manipulation and removal system.

The original patent disclosed a robotically controlled system for removing clots from patients. However, the system lacked the ability to adapt to varying clot geometries, optimize removal strategies in real-time, and ensure secure data storage. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by incorporating synergistic combinations of distinct technologies.

The inventive concept comprises a robotic arm with an integrated AI-powered clot detection module, which analyzes real-time imaging data to identify optimal clot removal strategies. The system can be combined with IoT-enabled real-time patient monitoring, transmitting clot removal data to a cloud-based server and receiving personalized treatment recommendations based on machine learning analysis of the data. Additionally, a blockchain-based secure data storage module ensures tamper-proof recording of clot removal procedures and patient outcomes. The system can also utilize a novel shape-memory alloy (SMA) material in the robotic clot removal instrument, enabling adaptation to varying clot geometries and removal strategies. Furthermore, a computer-implemented method for predicting optimal clot removal strategies using a deep learning model trained on a dataset of robotic clot manipulation procedures can be employed.

The new claims introduce the integration of AI, IoT, blockchain, and novel materials, which are not present in the original patent. The inventive concept's novelty lies in the synergistic combination of these technologies to create a more powerful and efficient robotic clot manipulation and removal system.

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of other AI-powered modules, such as computer vision or natural language processing, to enhance the system's capabilities. Variations could also include the integration of other distinct technologies, such as augmented reality or 5G networks, to further improve the system's performance and efficiency.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in the fields of neurology, cardiology, and vascular surgery. The system's ability to optimize clot removal strategies and ensure secure data storage could lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
