Smart Phone Smart idea

I had this idea while teaching my youngest how to ride her bike, the thought of how in the event of an accident could I reach the emergency services even quicker. I thought there must be an idea especially with smartphones in geo-location and mobile sensors etc. I then came across this from ICEdot.

ICEdot have recently collaborated with SenseTech LLC to develop an innovative helmet-mounted impact sensor. How it works is it comes as a yellow slim device that resembles a sticker when paired with the ICEdot app on a smart phone, the system is able to detect motion, changes in forces and impacts.

In the event of an impact, the device sends critical data to the app which sounds an alarm and initiates an emergency countdown. Unless the countdown clock is stopped, the app will then notify your emergency contacts and send GPS coordinates of the incident so that appropriate follow up actions can be taken.

A very smart idea and something that could be a lifesaver. The whole project is still in development and like everything I'm sure has some things to iron out but I do hope this idea comes to fruition personally having lost one very good friend in a bike accident and two who were seriously injured in London.

Maybe one day with technology and innovation like this we'll hopefully reduce the number of cyclists been killed on our roads.
