smart car to keep track of your health

It was only a matter of time before smart phone were followed something else smart. According to USA Today, the automakers are working on car that will help you stay behind the wheel.

Ford Motor has developed a car seat that can monitor a driver’ heart and, can potentially, act as an early warning system. Ford has been working on several vehicle base monitoring systems that can be relevant to health and wellness issues such as glucose levels for diabetics or pollen levels for asthmatics.

There appear to be a lot of untapped potential market in such areas although some health professionals are doubtful about effectiveness of such devices for people who have health problems.
