Problem Statement

Healthcare professionals often struggle to locate veins for injections, IV


insertions, or blood draws—especially in patients with difficult vein visibility
such as infants, elderly individuals, or those with darker skin tones or
dehydration.

This can result in multiple needle attempts, increased patient


discomfort, longer procedure times, and higher risk of complications.

Solution Statement

We are developing a portable, AI-assisted vein visualization device that uses near-
infrared imaging and machine learning to detect veins and project them in real-time
onto the skin.

This solution enhances visibility, reduces needle insertion errors, speeds up


procedures, and improves overall patient care in clinical and emergency
settings.
How the Vein Finder Works
Infrared Illumination
IR light penetrates skin and interacts with hemoglobin in blood.

Image Capture
IR-sensitive camera detects vein contrast against tissue.

Machine Learning Processing


ML highlights veins and predicts optimal paths.

Real-Time Projection
Vein map is projected directly onto patient's skin.
Essential Hardware Components
IR Light Source IR-Sensitive Camera
Near-infrared LEDs illuminate the skin to reveal veins. Captures images highlighting vein contrast.

Microcontroller Mini Projector
