Seatbelt-integrated biosensor could track alertness and stress of drivers
Researchers at the National University of Singapore and China’s Tsinghua University have developed a new sensor that can pick up and track biological signals, such as the heartbeat and respiration, without being in contact with the body of users.
This sensor could be used to pick up the cardiopulmonary signals of humans while they are in dynamic and closed environments, such as an aircraft cabin, a moving car or a bus, or to monitor pilots or drivers’ alertness or stress.
