Not only is that important, because accessibility is one of the key factors for any new solution to become widely used, but also because it allows a certain kind of privacy, bringing treatments to the patients’ homes, removing stigmas typically connected to a number of therapies, either in substance abuse care or in mental health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summarising the basics, let’s see a few exciting, real-life examples\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

(Remember Theranos?) There is simply no other means to draw a sufficient amount of blood from the patients otherwise. And despite the fact that it’s a common procedure, it’s fairly difficult for nurses and medical professionals to get enough routine. I clearly remember when I first had to take blood as a doctor: the patient, a kind, old lady was as scared as I was; I was trying to comfort her as much as myself. It would be good to spare such an experience for medics and patients alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But this will come as no surprise: people don’t like needles or giving blood. Many people have straightforward fears related to these. So much so that we have multiple names for these fears like haemophobia, trypanophobia, BII and so on. Healthcare professionals themselves often struggle with the procedure, finding the veins in patients can be particularly difficult; for example when the patient is obese, dehydrated, has certain severe chronic conditions – or simply has small or inelastic veins. In these challenging cases, healthcare professionals only have an average success rate of 73% in finding the veins with the needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Although there are devices to support blood draws (like \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fnot-in-vein-the-aimvein-pro2-0-vein-finder-review\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">vein scanners\u003C\u002Fa> that can help detect veins), these are expensive and can’t help in every case.
