“Precision isn’t just about getting it right; it’s also about getting it right the very first time.”
In the realm of healthcare, precision and patient comfort are essential. We at PharmEasy have always been at the forefront of leveraging technology to enhance the healthcare experience for our customers.
In our constant pursuit of improving consumer experience and making at-home lab sample collection much better, we have introduced ‘Vein Finder’, an innovative addition to our phlebotomist’s toolkit. It helps seamlessly find veins in patients with difficult-to-puncture veins, infants, elderly individuals, etc., providing a smooth blood sample collection experience.
This innovation will transform the way blood samples are collected, making it more accurate and significantly less stressful for patients.
One of the biggest challenges with traditional blood sample collection methods was difficulty locating veins. Finding a suitable vein can sometimes be daunting, especially for children, the elderly, or individuals with certain medical conditions. Multiple needle sticks and probing can lead to discomfort, anxiety, and, in some cases, complications.
PharmEasy recognised the need for a more patient-friendly and efficient approach to blood sample collection. This is where the Vein Finder device comes into play. Our phlebotomists carry the device to ensure a smoother and more comfortable sample collection experience. This handheld device uses near-infrared light to visualize veins beneath the skin’s surface.
1. Reduced Discomfort: The Vein Finder device’s infrared imaging capability allows phlebotomists to locate veins even more accurately and quickly. This precision significantly reduces the chances of multiple needle sticks, minimising patient discomfort.
2. Improved Success Rate: Vein finders enhance the success rate of venipuncture and reduce the chances of complications, such as hematomas (bruising), nerve damage, or accidental puncture of arteries.
3. Enhanced Patient Experience: Using vein finders can improve the overall patient experience by reducing anxiety and fear associated with needle sticks and increasing the chances of a successful procedure on the first attempt.
4. Ideal for All Ages: This device is suitable for all age groups. It is especially beneficial when dealing with pediatric and geriatric patients, where vein accessibility can be challenging. Vein Finder ensures that even the most fragile veins can easily be located.
PharmEasy’s adoption of Vein Finder technology reflects its commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services. Its use of Vein Finder technology is a testament to its dedication to innovation and patient-centric care. With precise and hassle-free blood sample collection, PharmEasy continues to make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and patient-friendly.
This is one of our many attempts to delight our customers and disrupt the diagnostic category. Expect a lot more innovation from us in the next couple of months in this space! Do give this service a try when you are looking to get yourself tested next time.
Stay tuned and healthy!
