Driving while drowsy is a surefire way to increase your chances of getting into an accident, so the 'Vivowake' wristband is designed to help you keep track of your energy levels when you're focused on getting to your destination.
The device works by being worn on your wrist and will continually track your alertness level when you're driving, working or keeping an eye on something. The wristband will provide you with an alert that can give you a three to eight minute warning of when you'll fall asleep. This is ample time to pull over, get some coffee or call it a night.
The 'Vivowake' wristband will provide preliminary alerts when you're getting drowsy and will increase the frequency of the alerts if your alertness doesn't improve.

Trend Themes
1. Alertness Monitoring Wearables - The need for safe driving or operating heavy machinery while tired calls for the application of wearables that monitor and alert the user of their alertness levels. This technology could be applied to other areas where focus, attention and alertness are critical.
2. Preventative Alerts - By providing alerts and warning before a critical event, similar technology can be used in other industries, such as health and safety, to help prevent accidents and increase awareness.
3. Real-time Performance Tracking - By monitoring performance levels in real-time through wearables, businesses can improve employee productivity, evaluate work efficiency, and help maintain customer satisfaction.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - This technology can improve road safety and reduce the number of driving fatalities and accidents by providing a warning system for drivers to pull over when feeling drowsy.
2. Construction - Wearables that track worker alertness in real-time could improve safety in high-risk work environments, such as construction sites, and minimize the number of accidents on the job.
3. Energy - By monitoring worker performance in real-time, wearables could help improve worker safety and detect early signs of fatigue, reducing the potential for accidents in the energy sector.
