VeinMate Assist
AI-guided, clinician-executed.

Placing an IV is one of the most common procedures in medicine and one of the most error-prone. The tools to see a vein have existed for years; what has been missing is help actually hitting it. VeinMate Assist is a forearm-worn device that images the vein map, selects the insertion point and sets the depth and angle of the needle — so a nurse on a night shift gets the result the very best clinician would.

Attach to draw, in under a minute

Four steps, the same sequence every time.

The point of the device is repeatability — removing the variance between the best clinician on the ward and whoever is on the night shift.

01

Step 01

Attach & switch on

The device straps over the site and powers up. It runs its own self-check and reports ready before the clinician commits to anything.

Engineering

Embedded self-test · single-hand operation

02

Step 02

Scan for the vein

A gentle light reveals the vein map beneath the skin in seconds and the strongest candidate is highlighted — no repeated prodding to find a good spot.

Engineering

On-device imaging · calibrated across skin tones

03

Step 03

Guided insertion

The screen marks the single best insertion point, and a single-use guide sets the depth and angle as the clinician inserts the needle.

Engineering

Mechanical guide · clinician keeps control throughout

04

Step 04

Collect or infuse

A sealed single-use cartridge draws the sample or connects the IV line. The needle retracts after use, engineered against accidental pricks.

The line that shaped the product

The design constraint that shaped everything.

The device does not take over from the clinician — it assists a decision they still make and an action they still perform. That boundary keeps it a clinical support tool rather than an autonomous system, which is the difference between a device a ward will adopt and one a regulator will stop.
