SmartCap’s anti-fatigue headband

September 22, 2019

SmartCap’s LifeBand wearable technology is designed to prevent microsleeps by providing accurate fatigue measurements in real time to rivers. The headgear can be worn under a cap and uses electroencephalography (EEG) technology to help provide early, accurate detection of fatigue risk. LifeBand connects via Bluetooth to a display within the cabin, where the Life App provides real-time fatigue measurements to empower drivers to proactively manage their alertness.
