Pinjarra Hills,QLD,Australia -Gizmag, by Ben Coxworth -January 30, 2012: ... A new invention from Australia's EdanSafe, however, takes the guesswork out of the picture. It's called the SmartCap, and it measures employee fatigue in real time by monitoring its wearer's brain waves... The washable cap incorporates waterproof sensors in its lining, which are able to measure electrical activity originating in the brain, at the scalp level. No preparation of the scalp is necessary... Once every second, a custom algorithm analyzes the data, to determine the wearer's level of alertness. This information is transmitted by Bluetooth to a linked device such as a smartphone or the dedicated SmartCap touchscreen monitor, where the user will be able to see a visual display of their fatigue level - if that level drops to dangerous levels, audible and visual alarms will be activated. The sensors are able to tell when the cap isn't being worn, so simply taking it off to hide one's fatigue isn't an option...Labels: drivers' fatigue
