& e (Andy) x Apple Watch could be a nice partner for drivers

"A little you! Are you tired? Is it okay to drive?"

What? I'm a little happy and grateful that you can guess. But don't you feel that these roles are now expanding not only to people close to you, but also to the realm of smart devices?

For example, the smartwatch, which is the most familiar device, uses various sensors to check heart rate, stress, blood oxygen concentration, electrocardiogram, falls, etc., and visualize the condition.

Furthermore, in recent years, I feel intelligence, such as predicting the future from such information and warning in advance of risks, such as "Is it okay?" As a person who will continue to be close to our daily lives, we may be able to warmly care for us even when we are on the move, saying, "Let's be careful when driving a car."

yeah? It seems that there was an attempt to look to such a future ...

There was. E Design Insurance's new automobile insurance "& e (Andy)"!

Leave the trouble to technology. The co-created automobile insurance "& e (Andy)" is too easy, and it seems to be a plus for society!

Drivers, how do you decide on car insurance? Whether you are joining for the first time or switching, isn't it a good choice because it's a hassle? Car insurance, if you use it when you get in ...

This product, so-called automobile insurance, uses IoT sensors to make unique efforts that have never been seen before. It seems that there is research that leads to risk aversion using Apple Watch.

Does Apple Watch Healthcare Data Lead to Safe Driving !?

The Apple Watch may help you drive safely.

I knew that I was doing that kind of research, but it was unbelievable, so I asked the people in "& e" what kind of data was this actually used for? I listened to the story in detail. What is the relationship between Apple Watch health care data and safe driving?

Indeed, if you are tired or in poor condition due to lack of sleep, your driving will be adversely affected.

I'm also a driver, so I often feel the danger of not having enough sleep. In terms of heart rate, you will be nervous and your heart rate will rise on the road you are driving for the first time, and on the contrary, you can relax and calm down on the road you are accustomed to riding. On the other hand, if you relax too much, you will feel drowsy. Therefore, it is certain that heart rate data may have some influence on the content of driving!

And it seems that the point of this experiment is not only to guess from healthcare data, but also to mix the data obtained from the ultra-compact IoT sensor, which is also a feature of "& e".

In other words, "The condition at that time was like this. Then how was your driving?"

If you only use healthcare data, it ends with "You are tired ...", but if you compare it with the actual behavior of the car, you can see the relationship between the driver's condition and safe driving.

…that? Perhaps it's a great initiative at a research institution or something like that ...!?

on second thoughts! It's really serious ...

What kind of safety can you expect from your Apple Watch?

Research and experiment with increasing the number of wearable sensors called Apple Watch.

Was car insurance such a service? There is a simple question, but what can we do with this data? I've also heard about the possibilities of the future a little further.

Notify before driving! Wouldn't it be very practical if this were implemented?

This is a possibility, but when you get in a car, for example, there are times when you can't be aware of your physical condition. Lack of sleep, rushing, diminished attention due to other causes, or strange impatience late in time. At that time ...

"Hey, it's different today, but is it okay? Be careful! Yes, drive safely!"

Isn't it possible to be a person who can say something by seeing (seeing) this slight change? I think.

In my case, my mother is that kind of person, and I think I'm the same as usual, but mysteriously see through a slight change in my physical condition and my leeway, and calm me down.

I think this is a kind of "love", but if it's excessive, I don't like it, and because of my physical condition, even strangers have a little resistance. So, when you need the Apple Watch you always wear. In that case, I feel that my consciousness for driving will change smoothly and naturally.

Also, I think it would be better if it could eventually become a remote occupant who can watch over the movement of parents who live far away and even the movement of important people.

The Apple Watch also has the ability to keep an eye on your family's safety, and if it extends to "driving," you'll be really relieved to have older parents ...

What is the goal of the "& e" experiment?

The future for safe driving using this Apple Watch.

There is a desire to experience it as soon as possible, but the demonstration experiment conducted this time is also a closed one for a very limited number of users in the company, and it is said that it is in the phase of collecting data for a while, so it is a day when we can use it. Seems to be a little further ahead.

In the future, as data collection and analysis progresses, we plan to test with a limited number of users. It seems that we will proceed toward full-scale release while getting feedback, so it may be a more accurate and reliable system by the time it comes out.

No, even so, healthcare data may lead to safe driving? What do you think you came up with? The point of view is amazing.

A smartwatch may be a driver's must-have gadget!

E Design Insurance's "& e" seeks a way to reach an accident-free world from Apple Watch health care data.

The research is still in its infancy and may seem like a fantasy at first glance. But I feel this is a very sensible and realistic approach.

After all, it's too far in the future for cars all over Japan to become autonomous and have no accidents ...

Not only road maintenance but also replacement of cars is required, so it costs money. If so, I think that the approach of talking to the driver himself and reducing accidents is a feasible and solid means of homework to be submitted to the near future.

Perhaps the Apple Watch will become a must-have driver's gadget in the future, and personally, if testing for users begins, I definitely want to participate.

He cares about my safety like a family. That's a merit, but just wearing an Apple Watch as usual, living and driving, may prevent someone's accident in the future. It feels good, and it's a unique new possibility for the Apple Watch.

Above all, the number of domestic traffic accidents, which exceeds 300,000 a year, will be reduced by the power of favorite wearables and technologies. I would like to see the future that "& e (Andy)" is trying to create.
