Driver fatigue is a serious problem

Driver fatigue is a contributory factor in up to 20% of road collisions and 25% of fatalities and serious inruies ¹

Our mission

On a mission to end the first cause of deaths and injuries on the road

Solution

We partnered with Core for Tech to develop early warning system for driver drowsiness. Our goal is to detect early signs of drowsiness using hear rate and hear rate variability data. Hear Rate sensors are widely available, already integrated in various devices (i.e. smartwatches). No additional wired sensors or cameras needed.
