• FDA Approves Blood Drawing Robot (prospectiveonline.com) — A newly approved FDA blood-drawing robot, Aleta, could eventually change how blood drives operate, including those held for Bryant students. With Arkansas already short on healthcare workers, the device might let a few trained supervisors safely oversee multiple machines and make local blood drives easier to schedule and staff.
