U-Vein : För tydligare vener

In healthcare, blood sampling is crucial for diagnosing diseases, administering medication, and overseeing a patient's health. Certain skin types can make blood vessels less visible, often requiring multiple attempts to find a vein. Vein-locating tools on the market today are limited to handheld devices, resulting in an inefficient workflow. The objective of this project was to develop a product improving vein visibility during venipuncture. The project was performed by conducting a survey to get insight into the habits of blood sampling and how the process is being experienced and a visit at a healthcare center where an interview was conducted and observation of the process around blood sampling was conducted. By following an interactive workflow along with tests, the project group was able to develop components which were later compiled into a product. The result was a prototype of the product U-Vein, which meant a step towards getting a product out on the market.
