Driver monitoring that looks beyond the eyes. Our system combines camera, wearable, and vehicle signals to detect drowsiness, distraction, and medical emergencies, then responds in stages, up to bringing the vehicle to a safe stop.
Camera-based driver monitoring watches eyelids and gaze. A driver having a cardiac event or a seizure can look "eyes on road" until the car leaves the lane.
About 6,000 deaths a year in the U.S. involve a drowsy driver, by the AAA Foundation's estimate for 2017–2021. Police reports capture far fewer.
In NHTSA's crash-causation sample, 1.3% of drivers had a medical emergency. Eye tracking alone can't tell a seizure or cardiac event from inattention.
Since 7 July 2026, every new car registered in the EU must carry an advanced driver distraction warning (Regulation (EU) 2019/2144).
Combines camera, wearable, and vehicle signals to recognize impairment and acute medical events, not only drowsiness and distraction.
Escalates from alerts to driver assistance and, when needed, a controlled stop, while keeping false alarms low during normal driving.
Developed and tested against emergencies that can't be safely staged on real roads. The prototype runs end to end in simulation today.
Impairment detection beyond eyelid tracking for driver-monitoring programs.
Trucking, transit, and ride-hail, where a medical emergency at the wheel is a safety and liability risk.
Support for drivers with known risk, such as epilepsy, diabetes, or cardiac conditions.
We're looking for OEM, fleet, and research partners. Technical details and results are available under NDA.
