Problem

United States domestic airline carriers face at least 144 in-flight medical emergencies everyday, and 70% of these incidents are handled by flight attendants without any assistance from medical experts.

Approach

We explored research questions and existing solutions to better define our problem area and gather quantitative data on in-flight medical emergences. Next, we conducted multiple stages of Subject Matter Expert interviews and a field study to understand expert knowledge and end users' thought processes. We integrated user feedback into the final proof of concept to ensure that our product is truly user-friendly.

Solution

We intend to create a solution that enhances domestic airline crew members' ability to confidently and effectively respond to in-flight medical emergencies in domestic flights in the United States. The detailed features included: Real-Time Communication, Clear Medical Guidance, Data collection & Data Transportation
