I wonder how much these would be worth to intravenous drug users?

you can see superficial veins with infrared lights anyway.

i don't see what AI is included in this, and none specified on their website. not sure why you put it in the title.

Presumably VeinViewer and TrueView use computer vision to highlight the issues talked about to notify the doctor or nurse.

It's not just finding veins, but detecting potential complications in real time which is the value add. Since it says ai powered leds, different frequencies and intensities are probably used in sequences useful for different possibilities.

Then again, if human inspection is just as good with detection with a high resolution infrared camera and leds, it could make a little niche where you sell ChespHumanView hardware as a replacement.

Yeah, but afaik it just isn't, so this would be in that way really useful for a lot of people working those kind of jobs

Yeah, I also had my doubts, but basically it's for people whose veins are so covered by fat that you can't just easily spot them
