Toyota Developing Cars That Can Detect Heart Attacks
Toyota has revealed plans of developing cars with seat belt biometric sensors which can predict cardiac arrests.
Some of the fatal accidents happen because of heart attacks while driving a car. And to address the concern, Toyota has revealed plans to develop cars which contain biometric sensors which predict cardiac arrests and prevent fatal accidents.
The Japanese automaker along with Michigan Medicine will develop a technology that would enable cars to accurately foretell if a driver is going to have a heart attack while behind the wheel.
The feature would then try to bring the car to a halt to a safe stop. The technology is still under development, and Toyota hopes to have preliminary results by 2020.
According to a study, cardiovascular and neurological conditions are the most frequent causes of attacks while driving. Both the conditions are found to be related to close to 8 percent of fatal car accidents.
In the study, over the course of seven months, it identified the challenges they would face as well as the potential solutions. It found that they required a high-quality monitoring device that was not too big or obstructive and one that would be able to recognise small changes in heart rhythms accurately at the same time also separate outside noise.
Currently, the team is working on designing a system that can fit inside a vehicle and carefully monitor and foresee a cardiac event. They decided to adopt monitoring patches that would be worn on the chest and would be small enough to be inserted inside seat belts.
The team would need to collect physiological data from the driver before testing algorithmic and hardware options. The researchers are looking to have the data they need by 2020.

The technology will not only helps the person behind the wheel but for others who are on the same road and avoid a fatal collision.
