Droplet IV

Droplet Health is a needs-driven MedTech company created by doctors and engineers. Droplet started in the BioMedical Design Novo Nordisk Foundation Fellowship Programme. Currently competing in DTU’s elite accelerator Danish Tech Challenge. Problem: ≈20% of intravenous (IV) medicine is trapped as residual medicine in IV lines and never reaches the patient causing significant and dangerous underdosing. To mitigate this patient risk nurses need to spend an avg. of 5 minutes to manually flush each IV line. This is unrealistic and not scalable with the growing global nurse shortage. Solution: Droplet ensures that patients receive the full prescribed dose of medicine every time by automatically flushing IV lines. Market: There are globally more than 6B IV infusions annually and no true automatic flushing products on the market today. Value propositions of automatic IV line flushing by Droplet: 💧No dangerous underdosing by guaranteeing infusion of the full prescribed dose 💧Decreases the number of nurse tasks and reduces multitasking which saves 5 min. per infusion 💧Ensure golden standard IV treatment for all patients 💧Removes the cost of wasted medicine 💧Fights antibiotic resistance by removing antibiotics ending up in nature as waste and eliminating underdosing. Factors that increase antibiotic resistance As a company we focus on creating a strong holistic company culture. Personal and professional learning is a priority in Droplet. We prioritise agility and personal development even over fast progression, we go far over fast, we challenge the status quo and embrace the unknown. Medicine belongs in patients - not in the trash!
