News
that Applist believes will change the way when going to give blood or take
blood out for tests. Scientists have discovered a way to find your veins before
poking around half a dozen times to find the spot having a hit and miss which
can scare people. Now the
Australian Red Cross Blood
service is using the near infrared light
device that locates blood to study whether being able to locate hard to find
veins will result in reduced anxiety and thus make it more likely these types
of donors will come back and donate again.
The
Blood Service says it will test 300 first timers and 600 returning blood donors
between ages 18-30 on different devices from two separate Australian providers.
The hope is that if this works on younger donors they will become lifelong
contributors to the Red Cross. The vein visualization device works by waving a
near infrared light source over naturally deoxygenated hemoglobin in the body.
The deoxygenated hemoglobin absorbs that light and your veins show up in
glowing green.
The machines should be safe unless you stare directly at them
(so don’t do that). They can also be adjusted for individual differences. Good
news that would hopefully increase blood donation as you may have the good
intention to donate blood but pull back from the thought of the pain from the
person not getting the vein in that one go! Especially if you’re like me that
as thin veins and tacking blood out is always drama and tears.
Applist’s point of view is every step of advancement is
creating a milestone and using infrared technology for a organization which
play a very important role for many people which now will hopefully encourage
more and more blood donation after in the success of the infrared trail. The
technology is safe and will make a change to out mind set and how adaptation in
other countries and organization for advance the method of taking blood. We
will see the outcome as we see it as a positive way to
to get the support with taking the fear factor out which thousands
of people have experience and avoid due to the tension created. Well done Red
Cross Australia as Applist will give you support on the motion for the trail.
Applist encouraging
innovating thinking and challenge the status quo! We make it come alive.
