AI-Guided Tracheal Intubation Procedure. Who's Ready for Robotic Intubation: Philippe Ganz, aiEndoscopic
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Could a robot perform trachea intubation? How about letting AI guide clinicians and paramedics in inserting the tube into people's airways?

You’ll hear

  • what is tracheal intubation and why it is far from putting a straw in a bottle
  • what can go tragically wrong
  • how long do anaestesiologists perfect the skill and how much less some other specializations have training
  • how to train AI in intubation
  • can a robot do the job
  • and also, Alex's attempt to intubate a manekin


Philippe Ganz is the CEO and co-founder of aiEndoscopic. With background in aeronautical engineering he switched to physics that he found too theoretical and ended up happily with biomedical engineering.

aiEndoscopic is a Swiss seed-stage startup that developed larynGuide an AI assisted guiding software for safer video laryngoscopy. Think: guided tracheal intubation for beginners. A fully robotic solution, IntuBot, comes next. And they do not stop there.
