Problem Statement

In battlefield and emergency scenarios, uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable deaths. Current blood transfusion methods, primarily involving manually operated pressure infusion bags, are time-intensive and limit the medic's ability to attend to multiple casualties simultaneously. With one medic typically responsible for 20-30 soldiers and only a 30-minute "Golden Window" to administer life-saving transfusions, the manual process is inadequate in mass casualty situations.

Overview of Solution

Our Next Generation Blood Transfusion Device is an automated, hands-off system designed to expedite and streamline the blood transfusion process in combat and emergency scenarios. By self-regulating and maintaining optimal flow rates, it allows medics to efficiently treat multiple casualties simultaneously, significantly improving survival rates in high-stakes environments.
