I would like to create a cost-effective device that shows healthcare
providers and lab technicians exactly where your veins are located to increase the
success rate of being stuck with a needle and/or IV. This technology would help
the providers and ease the patient by only being stuck once instead of multiple
times. I believe a couple pediatric hospitals currently have a similar
technology. It was originally created because children’s veins are smaller and its
harder to reach successful outcomes. Also, who wants to stick a child more than
once if it isn’t necessary? I would like to improve on the technology by making
it into a handheld device at a lower price point. This way we can get it into
every doctor’s office, lab, EMS, and hospital that typically perform these
services. This technology could be used across all age groups to lessen the
discomfort of receiving blood work and IVs.

Hi Danielle! What a great idea! I get blood lab test every few months for a health condition. I am told that my veins "roll" all the time. What this means to me is being stuck repeatedly on any given visit. Usually the technicians usually dig around after the needle insert to find the vein. It is not the technician’s fault but it certainly doesn’t make for any easy visit. Your device would help in this case.
