No matter how many times people learn their basic lifesaving skills, in those moments of panic, many are likely to forget it all. The [First Aid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-first-aid-kit) 2.0 assumes that the first person at the scene of an accident will know nothing about how to identify or treat a particular injury so it offers a wealth of advice and instruction on the very lid of the box.

Ying Hern Pow's [first aid kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncharted-supply-wolf-pack) has a sleek cover with a touchscreen integrated into the surface in the shape of a red cross. Touching the display will activate the computer inside and present the user with a selection of common afflictions that he may chose to select or investigate. Search capabilities produce directions for how to assist victims of a wide variety of trauma, and under the hinged lid of the First Aid 2.0 are the familiar medical tools to carry out [minor procedures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicosbiotech) before the ambulance arrives.
