The e+ Emergency Patch has been designed to be easy to use for flight attendants without much medical training, enabling a diagnosis to be made immediately so that treatment can be attempted promptly. This concept clinical gauge was developed by Eduardo Rincón and Gallardo Martinez as a pair of compact components that fit snugly into an airplane First Aid kit. The e-patch includes an oximeter and a [miniature ECG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardiac-event-monitor) that features a digital display. A passenger in trouble can be fitted with these devices and his [oxygen levels and heart rate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-frontier-x2) can be observed. By this point, hopefully a doctor on board will have approached the scene, taking over with the information learned from the e+ Emergency Patch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Compact Flight Health Monitors:** The trend of compact flight health monitors is providing a solution for immediate medical diagnoses onboard aircraft. - **E+ Emergency Patch:** The emergence of the E+ Emergency Patch is enabling non-medical flight attendants to quickly diagnose passengers' medical problems. - **Onboard Medical Technology:** The adoption of onboard medical technology is improving the efficiency and effectiveness of in-flight medical emergencies. ### Where This Applies - **Aviation:** The aviation industry can leverage compact flight health monitors to enhance onboard medical services and response. - **Medical Devices:** The medical devices industry has an opportunity to create innovative and user-friendly solutions for in-flight medical emergencies. - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can explore partnerships and collaborations to integrate medical technology for in-flight emergency situations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Oxygen Support Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-o2-patch.md) - [Wearable Ultrasound Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-ultrasound.md) - [Plant Disease-Monitoring Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-patch.md) - [Headphone-Shaped Vital Signs Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-signs-monitors.md) - [Rapid Cardiac Protein Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrist-sensor.md) - [Healing Transparent Skin Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psoriasis-prescription-patches.md) - [Innovative Patient Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patient-monitoring-technology.md) - [Wearer-Analyzing Respirators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask.md) - [Wearable Drug Delivery Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-injector.md)
