Summary
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. 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, and hemolysis rate are comparable to those measured using human nurses. 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. We target two categories of customers – lab chains and hospital labs – and we have launching customers in both of them. Vitestro has a team of nearly 50 people, including technical, medical, regulatory, and commercial expertise.
