iV-GO
iV-GO empowers patients by ending dependence on hospital beds and IV-poles to receive IV-treatment.
The world’s first portable, purely mechanical IV solution, ensuring constant release of IV fluids while the patient enjoys the empowerment of independence, dignity and mobility. Patented, novel and innovatively designed, it enables patients to be mobile during treatment. iV-GO contains no electronics and is not restricted by battery lifetime, hence better suited for lengthy treatments. iV-GO is light and compact, freeing up space at the hospital while enabling treatment on-the-go. iV-GO was conceived by OSAA Innovation’s founder Ahmed Hessam, based on own experiences being hospitalized numerous times. During treatment in 2009 at Denmark's National Hospital, he observed a girl playing outside while her mother was holding an IV bag above her, so that the she could receive the required treatment. It occurred to Ahmed how restricted patients are during IV treatment and he decided to develop a mechanical, mobile, patient-friendly, de-stigmatizing and inexpensive alternative; the iV-GO.
