Overview

Many patients are injured when IV fluids accidentally leak into their skin instead of staying in the vein. This causes painful swelling and bruising, and it happens to nearly 1 in 10 people. To solve this, I developed Veino, a wearable device equipped with smart pressure sensors. Unlike current methods where nurses have to check for leaks by sight, Veino monitors the IV site automatically. It detects tiny pressure changes and sends an early warning before a serious injury can occur. I also created Veino Pro, which uses these same "hero" sensors to monitor pressure inside the body during medical procedures like endoscopies. By catching these issues early, my technology helps healthcare workers act faster and prevents unnecessary pain. This project makes hospital treatments safer for millions of people by turning a common medical problem into a smart, digital solution.
