Ford Motor Company has developed a system by which the glucose levels of drivers can be monitored, something that can prevent accidents and save lives.

Bluetooth, a very popular transmission technology, shall be used to display the driver’s glucose level on the car’s dashboard. If the glucose level of the driver reaches alerting levels, it shall be displayed on the display along with an alert sound. This shall help the driver know when to take a break.

The company said on May 18 that it was trying to evolve its internet-enabled SYNC service to work with online medical resources.

Paul Mascarenas, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President, Ford Research and Innovation, said, “Ford SYNC is well known in the industry and with consumers as a successful in-car infotainment system, but we want to broaden the paradigm, transforming SYNC into a tool that can help improve people’s lives as well as the driving experience”.

Voice-activated tools are in the process of development that can be used by drivers in case of a problem. The technology can be used by people suffering from diabetes, asthma and various allergies.

Health and fitness software are making their entry in the increasing automobile market. Gary Strumolo, Manager, Vehicle Design and Infotronics, said that the company is trying to create a car that shall care for people who sit in it.
