to see the volume on the syringe to avoid too much or too little insulin during
injection. The device magnifies the numbers on the syringe to provide the user
with accurate insulin readings. The frame is flat so it can be placed on a flat
surface. A magnet or Velcro may be attached for safe handling.

Too much or too little insulin can be harmful to an individual suffering from

basic knowledge of needle use.

the end of the device. Turn the device until it is facing up. Insert the

that is needed. Then remove syringe from the device.

After reading your post, the artificial vision device that I saw recently came to my mind. It's a tiny and discreet camera attachment that reads text from any surface and converts it to audio. Then, it speaks the message to the wearer's ear instantly. The main goal of this wearable assistive technology is helping people who are legally blind achieve greater independence.
