Final Project

Oui, an on-body injector to improve the IVF self-injecting process

The IVF treatment involves a significant number of injections, with patients potentially needing up to 90 injections per cycle. Self-administering these injections during the egg stimulation stage can be an overwhelming and challenging task, impacting patients both physically and mentally. To address this issue, Oui, a semi-reusable on-body injector, offers a user-friendly self-injection experience, simplifying the process for IVF patients.

Reduced Preparation Time

With Oui, the preparation time for IVF injections is significantly reduced. Users are relieved from the task of handling needles or preparing medication, thanks to the use of pre-filled cartridges. The process is made effortless: the cartridge is simply placed into the disposable module, closed, and inserted into the belt dock. Through the accompanying app, users are seamlessly guided through each step of the injection process.

Minimising Discomfort

Oui’s innovative dock can smoothly glide along the belt, allowing for precise spacing of injections. Each injection is carefully positioned, with a spacing of 1 to 1.5 inches from the previous injection site, effectively minimising discomfort and the risk of bruising on the abdomen.

Nerve Distraction

Vibrations gently stimulate the user’s nerves, effectively alleviating pain both during and after the injection. Additionally, these vibrations serve as a valuable distraction, diverting attention away from the injection process and creating a more comfortable experience for the user.
