MED-A aims to improve the lives of millions of people dealing with health problems who are worried, or prevented from, driving due to their illness.
MED-A: a vehicle-integrated device allowing a driver to be:
– informed of a medical alert that may affect his driving,
– assisted by the driving aids available in the vehicle,
– automatically rescued in the most serious cases,
if the driver or an occupant is wearing one or more medical devices.
