Episode 7 - Improving outcomes from difficult intravenous access through innovation - interview with Airglove Medical Ltd CEO Jason RamWhat if there was a technology to simplify difficult IV access and improve patient outcomes? In this episode of Confidence to Thrive, Christopher Cloke Browne of Owlicity speaks with guest Jason Ram, CEO of Airglove Medical, about Airglove, a patented device designed to support difficult intravenous access and venipuncture. Jason shares his vascular access background and explains how the technology originated from an NHS innovation request at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells in 2009, leading to a Version 1 launch in 2018 and the development of Version 2 based on clinical feedback. They discuss why oncology, haematology and related services are an initial focus due to repeated access needs, while highlighting broader applications across healthcare to reduce multiple attempts, complications, delayed treatments and traumatic patient experiences. Jason outlines plans to deepen NHS partnerships, collect more data, strengthen regulatory and compliance work, expand into the US, Australia and Europe, and pursue a mission to assist 1 billion cannulations globally through a simple, accessible system.Episode timestamps00:59 Introduction to Airglove Medical CEO Jason Ram01:23 Jason reveals his vascular access journey03:00 Jason discusses the origins of Airglove 03:39 Why Airglove is now on a version two upgrade and what that means for patient outcomes05:28 Why there is an oncology-first focus07:48 Assessing the impact on patient safety 10:03 How Airglove is working within NHS and private healthcare to deliver results10:16 Jason outlines Airglove’s ambitious growth plans 13:43 Why Jason believes simplicity is the path to equity in healthcareDiscover more about Airglove Medical Ltd and connect with Jason on the links below:Airglove Medical LtdLinkedIn - Jason RamLinkedIn - Airglove Medical LtdWho are Owlicity?This podcast was brought to you by Owlicity Insurance Advisors who support your business ambitions.  Owlicity advises practitioners, owners, and entrepreneurs of healthcare practises on mitigating risks so your business can thrive. Learn more about how Owlicity can support here: Owlicity.co.uk Call us on 0203 988 8090Follow us on social mediaLinkedInInstagramYouTube
