This thesis proposes a portable electronic device capable of displaying the segmentation of the forearm vein map to facilitate the venipuncture procedure, based on the digital processing of infrared images in real time. Currently, there are similar solutions whose high price is difficult to acquire for the health institutions in the country, so they maintain the exploration of veins by visual inspection and/or palpation, applying tourniquets or inserting the needle into the skin until the vein is reached, causing pain and possibly severe complications such as infections in the patient. The proposed system uses light in the near infrared spectrum as a non-invasive method and proposes an infrared image acquisition system composed of a camera, a band-pass optical filter and IR LEDs. The software developed is capable of running on low computational capacity systems, segmenting and displaying the results on a screen in real time. For the hardware, a robust and portable structural design is proposed to attend patients located on stretchers or chairs, and the equipment can be easily moved to different hospital areas. Finally, the proposed equipment was tested by a nursing graduate, where a survey was used as a validation method in 73 users. It was demonstrated that with the use of the proposed equipment the visibility of the veins was improved in 74.55% and with the support of a rubber compressor as a tourniquet it was possible to visualize the map of veins in 100% of the users.
