While existing vehicle safety systems, such as automatic braking or lane assistance, focus on external factors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csem.ch\/en\/\">CSEM<\/a>\u2019s DriverCheck addresses what it calls \u201cthe last missing link\u201d in automotive safety: the driver\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a small camera and advanced artificial intelligence, DriverCheck continuously monitors a driver\u2019s heartbeat, breathing patterns, and alertness. The system can detect early signs of fatigue, stress, or medical distress and respond within seconds. In a critical situation, it can alert the driver or interface with the vehicle\u2019s safety systems to slow down, activate hazard lights, or steer the car to a safe stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In trials, DriverCheck achieved heart rate measurements with a margin of error below three beats per minute and identified drowsiness with over 95% accuracy. \u201cDriverCheck acts like a guardian angel\u2014always watching, never intrusive,\u201d said Nadim Maamari, Group Leader for Edge AI &amp; Vision at CSEM. \u201cOur goal is simple: to save lives by intervening 30 seconds before tragedy strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detecting early warning signs of health emergencies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept has gained renewed urgency following research in Norway, where investigations into fatal road accidents revealed that sudden medical events were \u201cfar more common than expected.\u201d DriverCheck directly addresses this underexplored cause of road fatalities by enabling vehicles to detect early warning signs of health emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike conventional monitoring systems, DriverCheck was engineered with \u201c<em>privacy by design\u201d<\/em>. It records no personal or biometric data and processes all information locally within the car, ensuring full compliance with Swiss and EU data protection laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offered as a customizable hardware-software kit, DriverCheck is now available for co-development with automakers, suppliers, and fleet operators seeking to make driving safer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neuch\u00e2tel\u2019s CSEM has introduced DriverCheck, a breakthrough in-cabin monitoring system designed to detect fatigue, stress, and
