Safety Helmet

Smart Safety Helmet with Sleep Detection, Accident Detection and More

Every year, there are thousands of motorcycle accidents. In 2018, 4,985 of those accidents were fatal. The Safety Helmet was designed to keep motorcyclist safer and to avoid accidents. Although currently there are similar products available in the market, these products are expensive. The Safety Helmet was designed to be affordable but at the same time reliable. The Safety Helmet includes the following safety enhanced features:

Car/Hazard Detection: The sensors in the Smart Helmet will detect if there are cars or other hazards in the blind spots and display this information in Safety Helmet's OLED display.

Accident Detection: The Safety Helmet will be able to detect if an accident has occurred and it will send an emergeny message to a pre-defined contact inside the Safety Helmet app.

Sleep/Drowsiness Detection: The Safety Helmet will be able to detect if the motorcyclist is falling asleep. Loud sound will be played in order to warn and wake up the motorcyclist.
