Project: DIsposAble MOnitor for Needle Dislodgement (Venous Needle Dislodgement Sensor)

Venal Needle Displacement (VND) is where the needle returning blood from a dialysis machine to the patient becomes dislodged, resulting in the machine pumping blood from the patient onto the floor. More than 2 people per week die as a result in the US alone, and an order of magnitude more are seriously injured. We want to develop a novel single-use and reliable VND sensor with a low enough cost to allow widespread use; with an automated EU-based supply chain.
