Grade 9 Student Wins Gold for Wearable Device Detecting IV Leaks
Akshath Anand, a Grade 9 student from Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning, has won a gold medal at the Canada-Wide Science Fair for his invention, the Veino – IV Safety Monitoring System. This wearable device is designed to detect intravenous (IV) leaks before they become visible or cause discomfort. By using smart pressure sensors, the system alerts healthcare workers early, allowing for timely intervention. Anand's project stood out for its practical application in real-world medical settings, addressing a common issue in hospitals where IV leaks can lead to swelling and bruising.
