Designed and conceptualized by a team of French doctors, this watch was made with the intention of reading a patients pulse and respiration rate. This is achieved in the chronograph with a two-ended sweep hand, making the pule checking process completely hands-free. Doplr will be donating €25 from the sale of each watch sale to Médicins Sans Frontières. Built to withstand the stresses of field hospitals, the Doplr Pulse Watch features a host of qualities that cement the watch's ruggedness . The watch face is simply constructed out of stainless steel and is water-resistant up to 100 meters. The performance straps come in either rubber or perforated synthetic, making cleaning and sanitization a breeze. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Doctor-designed Wearables:** Opportunity for doctors to collaborate with technology and design experts to create wearable devices for medical professionals. - **Remote Patient Monitoring:** Creating wearable devices that allow medical professionals to remotely monitor patients' vital signs and health tracking data. - **Wearable Donations:** Charitable donations through wearable devices sales to medical organizations, a new approach to philanthropy. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare Technology:** The intersection of healthcare and technology to create innovative wearables for medical professionals. - **Medical Supplies:** The creation of wearables, medical devices, and tools to improve the quality of healthcare in hospitals, clinics, and emergency situations. - **Retail:** Retailers who are starting to adopt ethical practices and charitable donations as part of their sales to meet the demand of socially-conscious customer needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [OTC Oxygen Saturation Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masimo-w1-medical-watch.md) - [Simply Designed Smart Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doro-watch.md) - [Fitness-Ready Women's Sports Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-sports-watch.md) - [White Hospital-Style Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lmc-3.md) - [Luxe Health-Tracking Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-scanwatch-nova.md) - [Featherlight Feminine Sports Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amitron-pulse.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md) - [Connected Watch-Analyzing Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-measurement-tool.md) - [Haute Health-Minded Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-scanwatch-nova-brilliant.md)
