<Joint research project launched to prevent traffic accidents>
The company is developing algorithms for early detection of biological risks, including drowsiness, within its driver-focused smartwatch service, "Nobi for Driver," with the aim of reducing the risk of accidents caused by driver drowsiness.
Kanta Yamamoto, CEO of enstem, said, "Accidents caused by drowsiness while driving are a symbol of an 'invisible risk' that can be prevented. We want to create a future where someone's life is protected by technology that visualizes 'a person's state'."
The results obtained through this research could be applied to safety and health management for people working in various fields, not only in the transportation industry, but also in buses, taxis, construction sites, and manufacturing plants.
