Venus Prototype For Needle-Free Medical System

While there are some of us out there who are willing to face an army in unarmed combat, this very same person might actually cower in fear at the sight of needles. The Venus prototype could do away with such a method of dispensation in the medical world, featuring a non-invasive, needle-free system while relies on light to measure tissue oxygen and pH. A sensor will be strapped on to the thigh, while a wearable monitor will function as a real-time alternative to the painful use of needles to draw blood as well as the clutter of equipment required to determine metabolic rate. The non-invasive system will also translate to a reduced risk of infection since needle pricks are eliminated from the equation.
