Projectdetails

Introduction

Vitestro has created the first fully-autonomous device that draws blood from patients. Our solution, called VD-1, performs the whole venipuncture procedure, from vein detection to bandage application, without any human intervention.

Technology Development

We have fully developed our technology in-house and protected it with seven patents. More than 1,000 volunteers have tried our solution:

  • The user acceptance
  • First-time success rate
  • Hemolysis rate

These metrics are comparable to those measured using human nurses.

Impact on Healthcare

The VD-1 will mitigate the chronic shortage of healthcare personnel. It will also standardize the venipuncture process, which has been substantially unchanged for decades.

Target Customers

We target two categories of customers:

  1. Lab chains
  2. Hospital labs

We have launching customers in both of them.

Team Composition

Vitestro has a team of nearly 50 people, including technical, medical, regulatory, and commercial expertise.
