Design Of Low Cost Infrared Vein Detector
About the Practice
Finding Veins for veni-puncture process is sometimes a tedious process for patients with deep vein, geriatrics, children, obese , etc - in such cases the veins are found by pricking the patients multiple times in order to find the correct vein, with the proposed solution - vein finding is made easier - the device makes vein appear darker helping doctors/nurses to do vein finding in one single step
Detail:
'A study states that for 16 out of every 100 patients it is difficult to spot veins and they have to undergo multiple venipunctures to find the correct vein -This problem is even more profound in cases of children, dark skinned, obese and elderly people which is painful and leads to rashes/marks on patient's skin. The current products in market which address this issue are extremely expensive, not hygienic, complex to use and bulky. The proposed solution tries to solve the above mentioned issues- while also being ergonomic and aesthetically designed. The device works based on NIR spectroscopy, where infrared waves are absorbed differently by oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood in the veins therby appearing darker - this helps the doctors and nurses to locate the veins easily and conduct one successful veni puncture instead of multiple painful ones. The designed device would bring affordable healthcare to the bottom of the pyramid and immensely benefit small clinics and hospitals, blood banks, blood test labs, etc. In delivering effective medical treatment
