Intelligent First Aid Kits

'Gale' Modernizes the Traditional First Aid Kit with Tech

— July 13, 2016 — Lifestyle
Though first aid kits are common household staples, without the proper training they don't serve much of a purpose. 'Gale', the new smart, portable and integrated health center from California-based 19labs, is a first aid kit that takes advantage of technology to train consumers on the spot.

Gale is stocked with supplies just like all first aid kits, however its Internet connectivity lets users restock directly on the touchscreen interface. It also provides interactive, step-by-step guides to teach people proper use of the many medical supplies that it contains. And if the first aid emergency is beyond the capabilities of the person on hand, Gale can call family, friends or emergency services with one touch.

By making first response healthcare easier for regular people, Gale uses the Internet of Things to create safer environments anywhere and everywhere.
Trend Themes
1. Smart First Aid Kits - Smart first aid kits like 'Gale' are integrating technology to train users and provide interactive guides on proper use of medical supplies, making first response healthcare more accessible for regular people.
2. Internet of Things in Healthcare - The integration of Internet connectivity in first aid kits, like 'Gale', is an innovative application of IoT technology that allows for easier restocking, instructional guides, and emergency communication.
3. Portable Health Centers - 'Gale' from 19labs is an example of a portable health center that combines the functionality of a traditional first aid kit with Internet connectivity, enabling remote access to medical supplies and emergency services.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can explore the use of smart first aid kits, like 'Gale', to enhance patient education, improve accessibility, and optimize emergency response.
2. Internet of Things (iot) - The IoT industry can capitalize on the integration of technology in first aid kits, such as 'Gale', to expand IoT applications in the healthcare sector and improve connected healthcare experiences.
3. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can develop and market smart first aid kits, like 'Gale', to provide consumers with user-friendly, technologically advanced solutions for personal healthcare management and emergency preparedness.
