Automotive Health – Wellbeing in the vehicle

The wellness trend shows no sign of ebbing, and the car is starting to become a partner in personal health. Preserving and promoting health is certainly a worthy goal, and it is playing an increasingly important role in the automotive industry. Drawing on a deep well of specialized knowledge in medical and automotive systems, we have a cross-industry skill-set and many years’ experience developing software.

The connection between health and vehicles

“Get out of the car healthier than you were when you got in it.” Combining automotive engineering and medical systems is a daunting challenge. Few companies have expertise in these two lines of business. At ITK, ours is comprehensive across both – we know to make automotive wellness a reality. Systems equipped with cameras, smart textiles, air quality detectors, and other sensors are complex. It takes advanced skills to develop custom software algorithms to tame this complexity and deliver solutions to the production line. Another great challenge is ensuring that personal data and other information is handled responsibly and processed securely in cloud-based systems.

Health Features in the Software-defined Vehicle

Health and comfort are figuring ever more prominently at work and at play – and lately also on the road. Indeed, smart software and in-vehicle sensors can monitor occupants’ health metrics. And that could help prevent accidents triggered by medical issues. In this article, we show ways in which illness-related accidents can be avoided in the future. Learn more in our technical article.
