Carer is concerned that recent training instructions from a community nurse for measuring liquid medication via enteral syringe will cause underdosing due to air bubbles and using the rubber O-ring as the plunger indicator, leading to significant medication loss.
No software solution exists to validate accurate medication measurement techniques for enteral syringes; training is inconsistent and based on conflicting human judgment.

- draws extra 1-5ml then removes excess air and medication
- uses black rubber O-ring as indicator vs plunger tip
- dispenses into medicine cup to measure loss
Implied Software Gaps
- Objective volume measurement tool for enteral syringes that accounts for air bubbles
- Automated training and verification system for medication drawing technique
