Eliminating Needlestick Injuries: How NeedleAID is Revolutionizing Healthcare Safety

Healthcare professionals, say goodbye to needle stress! NeedleAID by Decap is transforming the future of Needle preparation

Check out our interview with co-founder to learn about NeedleAid's journey. We are proud to support them at ViVe in Los Angeles and excited to see their continued impact on patient and worker safety!

What motivated you and your co-founders to start NeedleAID?

I was working in a research facility, and due to the chaotic environment, I ended up poking myself with a needle. I found that it was a recurring issue in many facilities, clinics and pharmacies. I started to develop a safe needle preparation device to create a stress-free environment, eliminating needlestick injuries among healthcare workers. We underwent a 4-year process with R&D and now have a medical device establishment license (MDEL).

What are some challenges you are facing while scaling your start-up?

Right now the biggest challenge is getting people familiar with the product, since they have been doing everything one way for the past 30 years, its hard to introduce a new device into clinics. We need to work with new users, like students in colleges, pharmacy programs and veterinarians - these new users are more stressed in a clinical setting and will easily adopt our product.

How did the Dobson Centre play a role in NeedleAid as we know it today?

The Dobson Centre has helped us enhance our investor relations; the international tour is creating new opportunities to connect with potential partners. Overall, the centre has helped us innovate significantly, contributing to our overall progress.

Who would be an ideal partner or collaborator for DECAP?

We are looking to partner with distributors of medical devices, hospitals, and purchasing spaces as well as experienced manufacturers.

What are you most excited about for ViVe in Los Angeles?

We are really excited to talk with healthcare executives and understand the problems we can solve for them.
