# Disposable Pulse Monitors The 'Oxxiom' Pulse Oximeter from True Wearables is Hygienic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-01-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulse-oximeter References: [damngeeky](http://www.damngeeky.com/2016/01/14/38806/true-wearables-develops-oxxiom-first-fully-disposable-wireless-pulse-oximeter.html) & [truewearables](http://www.truewearables.com/) The medical industry is constantly on the lookout for products such as the 'Oxxiom' Pulse Oximeter that help to not only increase the level of hygiene possible, but also provide more comprehensive data. Working like a traditional oximeter, the 'Oxxiom' from True Wearables is affixed to the fingertip with a light adhesion. The device then wirelessly connects to readers that keep constant track of the readings. Being that the True Wearables 'Oxxiom' is disposable, it enables healthcare workers to worry less about having to constantly sterilize equipment. As concerns about hygiene in the healthcare industry become more apparent for consumers, the 'Oxxiom' is an innovative approach to making necessary equipment cleaner and more user-focused. The 'Oxxiom' can be purchased in a pack of two for $129 and comes with six adhesive patches. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Disposable Medical Devices:** The disposable feature of the 'Oxxiom' oximeter suggests opportunities for developing hygienic, on-the-go medical devices. - **Wireless Health Monitoring:** The wireless aspect of the 'Oxxiom' device indicates areas for innovation in remote health monitoring and diagnosis. - **Remote Patient Management:** The comprehensive data collected by 'Oxxiom' enables healthcare providers to explore innovative methods for managing patients remotely. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Healthcare industry can potentially develop more hygienic and user-friendly disposable medical devices based on the 'Oxxiom' model. - **Medical Technology:** Medical technology industry can focus on developing more convenient and efficient wireless health monitoring and diagnosis devices and tools. - **Remote Patient Monitoring:** Remote patient monitoring industry can explore opportunities to improve real-time health data analysis, management, and diagnosis based on the 'Oxxiom' features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pebble-Shaped Health Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohealth-h1.md) - [Breathing Exercise Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathing-wearable.md) - [Pebble-Like Handheld Health Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-ohealth-h1.md) - [Multipurpose Diagnostic Health Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-beamo.md) - [Innovative Patient Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patient-monitoring-technology.md) - [Mobile Healthcare Exam Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-medical-device.md) - [Empowering Anemia Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-wearable.md) - [Muscle-Monitoring Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscle-oxygen-monitor.md) - [Non-Intrusive Hydration Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safebeing.md)
