Remote Health Monitoring System For Drivers
Road collisions cause more than 12,5 million deaths worldwide each year and human factors, with 90% bodily accidents, remain the greatest contributor
These indicators are generally due to speeding, distractions caused by mobile devices or driving under the influence of alcohol/ narcotics, yet health complications also take a fair share in several numbers of accident cases.
As a result, new health detection techniques are emerging to the market to be able to monitor and measure vital physical parameters of a patient also in non-clinical environments such as in-vehicle and promote public safety.
The usage of wearables
or smart mobile devices is becoming more frequent, especially when it comes to monitoring heart rate in
physical activity.
However, in the context of health and clinical decision makings, it is not so usual. Their accuracy, but mostly their reliability is very questionable regarding the fact that they can be easily misallocated or forgotten.
A build-in vehicle approach though coupled with certified clinical devices provides valid information and comply with the specific needs of the healthcare sector. Thus, the involvement of connected car applications like AutoPi can enhance better surveillance and tele-monitoring systems for use in clinical practices.
What Is an AutoPi enabled Healthcare Solution?
AutoPi is an advanced telecommunication
device combined with an
IoT cloud platform that is specially designed for seamless connectivity with other hardware
equipment like video cameras, sensors
or alarm systems.
Due to AutoPi’s high extensibility, it is possible to connect biomedical sensors that are capable of remotely measuring vital signals like heart rate, respiration or even temperature in real-time and transmit the information instantly or automatically to a medical team or alert the driver locally.
Remote Health Monitoring System
Early detection of abnormalities of vital health signs is important as it improves recovery and reduces mortality rates while allowing healthcare organizations to provide better quality patient care services to communities.
It is also recognized that patients who suffer health complications like cardiac arrest while driving exhibit premonitory abnormalities. The real-time transmission of this information could ensure immediate reactions and benefit the reduction of traffic accidents.
AutoPi is accessible for development through additional medical sensors (electrocardiogram, photoplethysmographic (PPG) or temperature sensor) and can combine visual and non-visual information of the driver to analyze and detect fatigue or drowsiness.
Coupling the gained data from the medical sensor with AutoPi’s voice speaker, emergency break, GPS and remote alert system, the vehicle can carry out tasks itself like warn the driver to take a break, slow down, break or even alert the emergency or medical service team and indicate the vehicle position.
