Onto Something
In the arena likely last to be commercialized,Ford in the United States and Europe is working with Well Doc ,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other partners to develop technologies that could monitor heart rates and levels of stress and relaxation and suggest or even prompt action based on its conclusions.One approach wires the car seat to monitor heart metrics,but that could be problematic if a restless driver breaks the connection.Also possible is wireless detection of brain waves and heart rates,perhaps by monitoring the face," and from the combination of that data,you could get an indication of the 'work load 'level around the driver and provide a more pleasant environment for them," said Rainer Vogt,a team leader in environmental science for Ford Research & Advanced Engineering in Europe."Then maybe you could block telephone calls for a while to help him out."
Strumulo said that this technology could help round out,inside the vehicle,a holistic environmental monitoring and control system for drivers that already is largely in place when it comes to factors outside the vehicle.With existing radars and other sensors that help the car and the driver react to outside changes and dangers,ranging from raindrops on the windshield to a vehicle in a blind spot,he said," We would have a system that would be able to tell you not only what's happening around the car but what the driver is doing in the car itself." This could allow the vehicle "to intelligently decide what information to give the driver and which should be withheld." Some developments in the outside world suggest that Ford could be on to something here.Would doctors,patients,insurance companies and government policy makers welcome any help they could get in reining in diabetes,for instance7 The number of adults worldwide with the disease has more than doubled in three decades,jumping to an estimated 327 million.
