Detailed Description

Vein detection is a vital area of research that is concerned with spotting the patient’s veins quickly and accurately, thereby avoiding multiple pricks. The project deals with making an effective, low-cost vein detection device based on a comprehensive study of parallel products available on the market and an analysis of functional rigs.

The project focuses on design intervention in areas of product usability, aesthetics, and manufacturability, apart from incorporating the technology into the product. Although products that help find veins do exist in the market, this project differentiates itself from other products by being affordable and better at usability aspects.
