BMW Goes Medical As Its Cars Could Soon Detect Strokes And Heart Attacks In Drivers

The BMW Group and Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin are investigating how medical technology can be integrated into vehicles. Their collaboration aims to create methods for anticipating cardiovascular risks among drivers.

BMW points out that with many sensors in today’s cars, it’s possible to constantly gather and assess data on the health of drivers and passengers. Professor Heyo K. Kroemer, director of Charité University Hospital, is optimistic that this initiative will greatly enhance the prevention and management of driving emergencies in the near future.

As part of the memorandum of cooperation between the BMW Group and the Charité, a team of engineers and medical experts will work in several areas.

These areas include the development of “smart” driver assistance systems, creating an architecture that meets personal data protection requirements, studying the health effects of in-car parameters, and developing preventive measures to improve driver health. and the partners will also explore the use of artificial intelligence in combination with existing and new vehicle sensors.
