Implementation of Vein Visualization Using Vein Viewer for Medical Diagnosis

Abstract: Non-invasive vein detection for intravenous(IV) procedures can be carried out using infrared(IR) rays for the purpose of illuminating a region, and then using an infrared camera for observing it. The image is processed using different techniques on the Open-CV software platform. We further propose the model for patient health parameter reading like BPM, SPO2, Temperature on google Firebase cloud. A This project works on the principle of absorbance of infrared (IR) light by veins and its diffusion to surrounding tissues which makes the vein appear darker when viewed through an IR sensitive camera.One of the challenges faced while implementing this system is to make an efficient system for image acquisition and image processing at low cost. Thus, a customized sensitive camera is used to cut down the cost.
