# Automated CPR Vests The Reax Resuscitation Device is More Effective & Efficient than Humans By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reax-resuscitation-device References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/competition/reax_resuscitation_device_takes_3rd_in_dyson_awards_17581.asp) & [jamesdysonaward.org](http://www.jamesdysonaward.org/Projects/Project.aspx?ID=1260&RegionId=0&Winindex=0) Some people, even if trained, would probably buckle under the pressure of performing a [life-saving procedure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ems-drone) such as CPR, which is why I would love to have access to the Reax resuscitation device. Although just a concept, the Reax resuscitation device recently won third place at the Dyson Awards. Hopefully this recognition will spur someone to actually produce this [automated CPR device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-medi-pro). Essentially, the Reax resuscitation device "compresses the entire chest at regular intervals and forces the blood into the brain more efficiently and more evenly than with a manual cardiac massage," according to creators Lars Imhof and Marc Binder. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Automated CPR Devices:** Opportunity to develop and market automated CPR devices that are more effective and efficient than manual CPR. - **Medical Automation:** Opportunity to explore automation technologies in the medical field, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of life-saving procedures. - **Smart Healthcare Solutions:** Opportunity to create innovative and intelligent healthcare devices for better patient outcomes and reduced human error. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Medical Devices:** Opportunity for medical device companies to develop and manufacture automated CPR vests and other life-saving devices. - **Healthcare Technology:** Opportunity for healthcare technology companies to integrate automation and smart solutions into the medical field for improved patient care. - **Emergency Medicine:** Opportunity for advancements in emergency medicine to embrace automation and innovative CPR technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Defibrillators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-defibrillator.md) - [App-Connected CPR Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cpr-kit.md) - [Lifesaving Swimming Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-vest.md) - [Automated Pressure Relief Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipcare.md) - [At-Home Rehab Robotics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reemo-home-robotic-arm.md) - [Speech Rehabilitation Aid Chokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revoice.md) - [Supportive Exoskeleton Labor Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cray-x.md) - [AI-Powered Mattress Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezet.md) - [Cutting-Edge Medical Exoskeletons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-exoskeleton.md)
