Episode 7 – Improving outcomes from difficult intravenous access through innovation – interview with Airglove Medical Ltd CEO Jason Ram

What 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.
