Projecting veins on the skin at AWE 2015
summary
A handheld laser camera/projector uses hemoglobin’s IR absorption to detect and reproject a vein map directly onto skin in real time, resolving veins down to about 0.5 mm and sampling at 120 fps with 10 ms latency so the overlay tracks movement. Deployed in roughly 3,000 hospitals and sold in 70+ countries, the device increases single-stick IV success 3.5× and is claimed to have reached roughly $100M in commercial sales.
