Drowsy driving is almost as dangerous as drunk driving and is the cause for tens of thousands of deaths each year, so the 'STEER' Wearable Device is here to help provide a way to combat against the occurrence.
The device works by being worn on your wrist and instantly goes to work analyzing your heart rate and your skin conductance every two-seconds in order to detect as soon as you're starting to get tired. If the device detects that you're tired, it will warn with you a vibration and a yellow light and, if ignored with a declining heart rate in unison, the device will shock you.
The 'STEER' Wearable Device will last up to two weeks on the charge of the internal battery.
