Every year on the roads happen more than 300,000 accidents, the main cause of which is the driver fatigue driving. Approximately 25% of cases the driver simply , which leads to very tragic consequences. A year due to sleep driving killed more than 30,000 people. That is why the Latvian company Creative Mode decided to implement the project bracelet STEER, moving it on a crowdfunding platform . This little device will allow drivers in case of fatigue not to fall asleep and to protect his life and the lives of others from the threat of a car accident.
Bracelet is equipped with sixteen sensors, which in real time monitors heart rate and skin conductivity of the driver. Similar sensors are used in polygraphs. As soon as the device determines that the driver fatigue has reached alarming his life level, the bracelet will be given into his hand with a small electrical discharge. Discharge this will be enough to Wake a person and to cheer him up. After the shock, the levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and cortisol increase, while levels of the sleep hormone melatonin, in contrast, is reduced.
The Developers of the bracelet for a long time explored the various ways that drivers use to avoid sleep driving. The most popular are coffee, energy, loud music or Smoking. But most of these methods are not that useful for the body, and is not 100% confident that fatigue will not prevail. Bracelet STEER much more effective than all of the above. This device will tirelessly monitor the condition of the body of the driver and protect him from danger. A single battery charge will last for 2 weeks of use.
The Device has already collected the necessary amount, and should go on sale in November this year. The cost of the bracelet for the users of the crowdfunding portal is $ 99. In the autumn the price will rise to $ 199.
