After three years of R&D, Hyundai Mobis announced its M.Brain, a new healthcare technology based on brainwave measurement. It measures the driver's condition on a real-time basis by detecting the brainwaves around the ears through earpiece sensors that are worn.
This achievement is receiving great attention for applying this brainwave measurement technology to the automotive industry for the first time. Among other biosignals, brainwave measurement is known to be one of the most advanced and challenged technologies to work with.
M.Brain can also be interworked with a smartphone app and provide notification that the driver is losing attention. The accident prevention technology also provides alerts for different sensory organs, such as sight (LEDs around the driver's seat), touch (vibrating seat), hearing (headrest speaker), etc.
Hyundai Mobis plans to apply various bio-healthcare technologies to public transportation, testing first in Gyeonggi-do.
Hyundai Mobis is showing progress in developing autonomous driving healthcare technology using biosignals. At CES in 2018, the company presented DDREM (Departed Driver Rescue and Exit Maneuver), which works to prevent accidents that occur as a result of drowsy driving. Hyundai Mobis then succeeded in developing the eye tracking DSW (Driver State Warning) system in 2019, and ROA (Rear Occupant Alert) system to detect infants in the backseat using radar last year.
