# Vivid Mobility Equipment Simpati’K Set Takes a Fresh and Colorful Design to Uplift Young Patients By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simpatik References: [benjaminmigliore](http://www.benjaminmigliore.com/project_simpati_k.html) The designer of the Simpati’K set understands that atmosphere can have a great effect on the mental state of a person. Plenty of [hospital patients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoobree-nebulizer) go downhill psychologically, even though they might be improving physically with constant care and attention. This concept for a [wheelchair and a stretcher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-wheelchair) is the work of Spain's Benjamin Migliore. He developed equipment that bears a significant reduction in material and component bulk, giving the pieces a lighter and swifter look. You'll notice considerable similarities between the composition of the two, since the creator would like to see one convert into the other. The Simpati’K project is complete with the use of [bright green upholstery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-roller) and yellow accents for a youthful and exciting aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youthful Healthcare Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical equipment industry by rethinking the traditional look and feel of healthcare products to prioritize a more youthful and exciting aesthetic. - **Minimalistic Medical Equipment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical industry by designing equipment that bears a significant reduction in material and component bulk, giving the pieces a lighter and swifter look. - **Convertible Patient Equipment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical equipment industry by exploring the possibility of designing equipment that can be easily converted into one another, such as a wheelchair and stretcher combination. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the healthcare sector through design, prioritizing atmosphere and mental state of the patient by introducing youthful aesthetics. - **Medical Equipment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical equipment industry by designing minimalistic and lightweight equipment that is easier to maneuver and operate. - **Patient Transport:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the patient transport industry by exploring convertible equipment designs that allow for easier and more efficient transportation between hospital facilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Lounge Motorized Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-resilience.md) - [Demurely Designed Mobility Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-rollator-concept.md) - [Luxury Discrete Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discrete-wheelchair.md) - [Sleek Robotic Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-wheelchair.md) - [Transformable Lightweight Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheeliy.md) - [Upright Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kime-wheelchair.md) - [Alphabet-Shaped Mobility Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobility-device-concepts.md) - [Friendly Robotic Wheelchair Caregivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelchair-robot-concept.md) - [Sleek Senior Walker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-go.md)
