In medical settings, the process of placing an IV in a patient or drawing blood presents a significant challenge, with one out of five cases resulting in missed attempts on the first prick.

This ratio increases to one out of three for newborns, leading to potential complications such as bleeding and fluid retention due to multiple pricks. The severity of this problem is particularly acute in vulnerable populations, such as infants, elderly patients, and those with traumatic conditions.

There is a pressing need for a solution that can enhance vein localization accuracy and minimize the discomfort and risks associated with repeated attempts in these critical patient groups.
