Arm Hug

Armhug is an ergonomic phlebotomy arm support wedge and portable storage for all necessary phlebotomy supplies. 

Existing techniques are either too expensive or don't offer all in one solutions. The competitive advantage is the price point and design. This product will change the experience staff and patients have while performing a blood draw. Ergonomic shape to supports patients’ arms in the optimal position for blood draws. 

It has all of the following; storage of blood vials, needles, gauze and alcohol prep pads, supplies stored in drawers that close and lock securely, handles for additional support,non- slip grip bottom for placement on the patients lap, table, or bed, allowing a straight needle to puncture the skin at the desired location. 

A supply chain solution -- 

The app can help resupply orders when needed. 

My customers are health care personnel and I would like to hire a manager to oversee the nurses who will visit sites and show the nurses how to use the product in nursing schools.  

My goal in 3-5 years would be to hire personnel to sell the product and teach infusion centers how to perform blood draws confidently. This would be launched via an app.

Mentorship can help me expand on the executive summary and think critically about funding. I need guidance on when to fulfill orders and how to do it strategically from city to city. I am also not sure how to approach a manufacturer in the U.S. for a reliable price point; I am open to advice and mentorship.
