Why the study?
Drivers spend significant time in the driving seat where health issues like heart problems can occur, making heart rate monitoring important for maintaining vigilance.
Cross-Sectional (n=20)
No
A steering wheel-embedded heart rate monitoring system demonstrated good usability (SUS score 78) among healthy volunteers in a simulated driving environment.
People spend a significant amount of time daily in the driving seat and some health complexity is possible to happen like heart-related problems, and stroke. Driver’s health conditions may also be attributed to fatigue, drowsiness, or stress levels when driving on the road. Drivers’ health is important to make sure that they are vigilant when they are driving on the road. A driver-centered pervasive application is proposed to monitor a driver’s heart rate while driving. The input will be acquired from the interaction between the driver and embedded sensors at the steering wheel, which is tied to a Bluetooth link with an Android smartphone. The driver can view his historical data easily in tabular or graph form with selected filters using the application since the sensor data are transferred to a real-time database for storage and analysis. The application is coupled with the tool to demonstrate an opportunity as an aftermarket service for vehicles that are not equipped with this technology.
