Continuos Health Monitoring Inside a Smart Vehicle
Our research vehicles are equipped with sensors for vital sign detection while driving. We aim to utilize the time spent on the road not only for transportation, but also as an opportunity to monitor drivers’ health in real-time. By collecting data such as heart rate, respiration, and stress levels, we seek to identify potential health risks early, improve driver safety, and contribute to long-term health monitoring strategies.
