More than 60% of hospital patients require an intravascular (IV) device to deliver life-saving medical treatment. However, one-third of IV devices stop working before the medical treatment is complete, leading to significant physical, emotional, and economic costs for patients, families, and healthcare institutions.
Our Commitment
The AVATAR team is dedicated to eliminating ineffective practices and replacing them with innovative solutions. Our goal is to improve patient care and reduce healthcare costs. We conduct quality, rigorous, and clinically focused research to:
Our research findings are incorporated into clinical practice guidelines used daily by clinicians and policymakers worldwide to provide the best possible care for patients with intravascular devices. Yet, there is still more work to be done.
Industry Partnerships
Industry partners are crucial in developing reliable, practical, and cost-effective products for medical treatment delivery and patient care improvement. We collaborate with various commercial industry partners but remain unaffiliated with any single company. Our engagement with industry partners varies depending on the nature of the research problem and is tailored to meet the specific needs of each collaborator.
Our Sponsors
AVATAR's research is supported by several sponsors who share our vision of improving patient care through innovation and rigorous research. Their contributions enable us to continue our mission to make vascular access complications history.
We invite more industry partners and sponsors to join us in this critical mission. Together, we can make a significant impact on healthcare practices and patient outcomes.
