Monitoring biosignals for both drivers and passengers -
Analyzing and diagnosing with FDA-approved algorithm
SEOUL,
South Korea, May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Amid the rapid advancement in automobile healthcare
and digital healthcare markets, global car manufacturers are racing
to adopt cutting edge healthcare technologies for in-vehicle driver
health monitoring.
According to global market research firm Precedence Research,
the global automotive healthcare system market is continuing
to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately
32% since 2022. By 2027, this value is projected to reach around
$10 Billion USD.
HoneyNaps, a company specializing in AI-powered sleep data
analysis and diagnosis, recently received a visit from the German
headquarters of a major car manufacturer, during which they
presented their sleep analysis technology entitled "Healthy Sleep
in Cars".
HoneyNaps' technological prowess and credibility were bolstered
last August with FDA approval for their AI-powered sleep disease
analysis algorithm 'SOMNUM'. The recent meeting with the German car
manufacturer served as a preliminary technical discussion to
introduce their AI algorithm to the development of automotive
healthcare solutions. These solutions are envisioned to focus on
advanced sensing and analysis of both the drivers' and passengers'
conditions.
Global car manufacturers are actively unveiling concept cars
equipped with relaxation zones as part of future healthcare
technology, using a variety of sensors to support drivers and
passengers in maintaining optimal well-being until they reach their
destinations.
Volvo has showcased the '360c', a self-driving concept car
featuring a bedroom style interior, with the goal of releasing this
product in the 2030s. The design proposes a novel concept with a
suite of features, including fully reclinable chairs, pillows,
blankets, and an adjustable lighting system for enhanced sleep
quality.
BMW has unveiled the Mini 'Urbanaut', embodying an innovative
vision for the future of mobility spaces. The car interior features
a relaxation zone akin to a cafe, rather than your average car. The
seats are reconfigurable, swiveling to face each other and
connecting to form a bed-like surface.
Pininfarina in Italy has
showcased 'Teorema', featuring a house-like interior and aura using
the advantages of electric car floor plans, which are compact, flat
and expansive. The second-row seats fold flat, connecting with the
third row to form a bed-like surface, and the continental smart
glass converts the rear interior into a semi-transparent space with
a cozy ambiance for napping.
Toyota and Ford have also implemented heartbeat measuring
sensors to their steering wheels and car seats. They are designed
to trigger automatic deceleration and braking as well as send rest
and medical action alerts based on the driver's condition. All
these technologies are advanced developments, specifically designed
for the growing demographic of older drivers. This includes an
automated messaging system that guides a safe vehicle stop in the
event of a driver blackout, protecting all drivers and passengers
from potentially fatal events.
Sean HA(Tae Kyoung Ha), President
of HoneyNaps USA states, "The automotive healthcare technology
is at the forefront of convergence with cutting-edge innovative
technical capabilities, alongside self-driving technologies. We are
proud that our sleep technologies are being considered for
integration within this field", adding, "We anticipate widespread
adoption of our sleep technologies within the automotive
market".
