Health Monitoring and Analysis using in-cabin sensors in automobiles: A feasibility study

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence application for early identification of health issues is a diverse and promising research field. This research is mainly based on information from medical devices, dedicated wearables or smartphones. Similar research in automotive sector considers in-cabin sensors of vehicles to detect driving-related health issues but misses the broader perspective of health monitoring. Thus, this position paper proposes exploration of the benefits of broader perspectives on traffic safety (e.g. detecting diseases impacting driving capabilities) and health monitoring using the potential of in-cabin sensors. In doing so, we will focus on technical feasibility but also hint to regulation- and business-related issues.
