Abstract
A self-IV injection device is provided. The self-IV device comprises fixing means to fix the device with respect to an arm of a user, an optical sensor, an IV needle, a drive, and a processor. The self-IV injection device is configured to detect, using the optical sensor, positions of marks placed on the arm of the user, and based on the detected positions of marks placed on the arm of the user, determine, using the processor, a suitable IV injection spot. The self-IV injection device also moves the IV needle, using the drive, to the determined suitable IV injection spot such that the IV needle penetrates a vein of the user.
