# Physiological Flight Security WeCU Technologies Advances Airport Safety By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-21 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wecu-technologies References: [fastcompany](http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/147/next-tech-checkmate.html) & [mahalo](http://www.mahalo.com/wecu-technology) If you have ever watched the TV show 'Lie to Me,' you will completely understand where WeCU Technologies is going with its [physiological, signals-based airport security](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-safety-and-security) technology. The show demonstrates just how telling our bodily functions and movements are and this Israel start-up is hoping to detect risky passengers through them. With a system of [electronic sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peoplesensing-software) and knowledge of behavioral studies, WeCU Technologies will be able to create a much safer environment in airports and aircraft. I can't help but feel a little skeptical, considering that there are a lot of [nervous flyers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensoryfriendly-space), yet WeCU Technologies assures that their system is advanced enough to tell the difference between those that mean harm and those that don't. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Physiological Monitoring:** Opportunity for developing advanced systems that monitor passengers' physiological signals for enhanced airport security. - **Behavioral Analytics:** Potential for utilizing behavioral studies to detect risky passengers and improve airport safety. - **Signal-based Security:** Innovation opportunity to develop electronic sensors that interpret bodily signals for identifying potential threats in airports and aircrafts. ### Where This Applies - **Airport Security:** Development of new technologies and systems that integrate physiological monitoring and behavioral analytics to enhance airport safety. - **Aerospace:** Potential for implementing signal-based security systems in aircrafts for improved passenger safety. - **Surveillance Technology:** Opportunity to develop advanced electronic sensors and surveillance systems that can interpret physiological signals for identifying potential threats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced In-Cabin Monitoring Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incabin-monitoring-system.md) - [Aviation-Centric Facial Imaging Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facial-imaging-app.md) - [AI-Powered CCTV Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-9.md) - [Personalized Travel Wellbeing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-wellbeing-solutions.md) - [AI-Backed Airport Lanes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clear.md) - [Wi-Fi Elder Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-wireless-ai.md) - [Wi-Fi-Enabled Senior Care Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-sensing.md) - [Remote Wellness Monitoring Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caregiver-aware.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Medical Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruin-biometrics.md)
