Augmented Reality for IV Insertion Success

The document discusses the challenges of difficult IV insertions, which have a 40% failure rate on the first attempt, particularly in patients with small or collapsed veins. It introduces augmented reality smart glasses that utilize near-infrared light and AI to enhance vein detection, improving accuracy and reducing patient discomfort. The technology offers benefits for healthcare professionals and patients alike, though it faces challenges such as high initial costs and the need for staff training.

THE CHALLENGE:
DIFFICULT IV INSERTION
● 40% of IV insertions fail on first attempt
●Big issue, especially for small, deep, or collapsed
veins, such as elderly, obese, or dehydrated
individuals.
● May lead to pain, stress, and increased risk of
infection

02
What are
augmented reality
smart glasses for
vein detection?

03
WHAT IS THIS
TECHNOLOGY?
● Allows medical professionals to see veins in real time
● Free up the hands
● The use of near-infrared light to detect veins and
project a digital map onto the patient's skin through the
AR display

04
TECHNOLOGY BEHIND
AR SMART GLASSES
THREE KEY COMPONENTS:

1. Near-infrared Light (NIR): This light sets


hemoglobin in the blood, which makes veins visible.

2. Augmented Reality Display: The smart glasses


project a digital vein maps onto the patient's arm in
real time.

3. AI integration: Artificial intelligence analyzes vein


size, depth, and fragility to recommend the best site
for IV insertion.

05
WHAT MAKES IT INNOVATIVE?

Hands-Free Operation Real-Time Tracking

AI-Assitend Vein Selection Fewer Needle Stick Injuries

06
BENEFITS TO HEALTHCARE:
● Nurses & Doctors: IV insertions become
faster and more accurate, reducing workload
and stress.

● Patients: Less pain, fewer needle sticks,


and lower anxiety during procedures.

● Hospitals: More efficient procedures, fewer


complications, and reduced costs from failed
IV attempts.

07
STRENGTH AND CHALLENGES:
PROS CONS
✅ Higher accuracy in IV insertions ❌ High initial cost may be a barrier for
reduces patient discomfort. some hospitals.

✅ Speeds up emergency procedures, ❌ Requires training for staff to use it


which is crucial in ICUs and ERs. effectively.

✅ Improves patient experience by ❌ Battery life & software updates are


reducing pain and anxie necessary for long-term use.

08
HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO CURRENT
VEIN FINDERS?

VS

TRADITIONAL VEIN FINDERS AR SMART GLASSES


09
CAN THIS BE USED IN HOSPITALS TODAY?
● The estimated cost per unit is 150,000 to 200,00 pesos which
may seem high but is cost-effective in the long run.

● Training only takes 2-4 hours for nurses and doctors.

● The system can be integrated with hospital EHRs to improve


workflow.

● There is high market demand, especially in ERs, ICUs, and elderly


care facilities.

07
WHAT’S NEXT FOR AR VEIN DETECTION?
● Future versions may be smaller and more affordable
for widespread use.

● AI capabilities will improve accuracy over time with


machine learning.

● The technology could be expanded to include vital


sign monitoring and surgery assistance.

07
A SMARTER FUTURE FOR HEALTHCARE
● They reduce pain and errors in IV insertions.

● They increase efficiency in hospitals.

● They pave the way for a more advanced,


technology-driven healthcare system.
