& E (Andy) × Apple Watch may be a nicer partner of the driver

"Hey you! Are you tired? Are you okay driving?"

Oh my God. I'm a little happy and grateful that you understand. But don't you feel that this kind of role is now spreading to the realm of smart devices as well as people close to you?

For example, the most familiar device, a smartwatch, uses various sensors to check your heart rate, stress, blood oxygen level, electrocardiogram, fall, etc., and visualize your condition.

Furthermore, in recent years, I feel intelligence, such as predicting the future from that information and warning me of risks in advance. In the future, as a part of our lives, it may be able to warmly take care of us when we're traveling, saying, "Let's be a little more careful when driving."

Huh? It seems that there was an attempt to look at such a future...

There was. Edesign Insurance's new automobile insurance "&e (Andy)"!

Leave the hassle to technology. The co-created car insurance "&e" is too easy and seems to be a plus for society!

Dear drivers, how do you decide on car insurance? Whether you're joining for the first time or switching, don't you choose it because it's troublesome? Car insurance, if you use it when you get it...

This product, so-called car insurance, uses IoT sensors to make unique efforts that have never been seen before. It seems that there is a study that leads to risk avoidance using apple watch in it.

Does Apple Watch health care data lead to safe driving!?

Apple Watch may be useful for safe driving.

I knew you were doing that kind of research, but it was hard to believe, so I asked the person in "&e" what kind of data this research actually used. I listened to the story in detail. What is the relationship between Apple Watch health data and safe driving?

Well, if you're tired, sleep-deprived, or in poor condition, your driving will be adversely affected.

I am also a driver, so I often feel the danger of not getting enough sleep. As for your heart rate, if you are driving on a road for the first time, you will be nervous and your heart rate will increase, but if you are driving on a familiar road, you will be relaxed and calm. On the other hand, if you relax too much, you will feel sleepy. So I have a feeling that the heart rate data may have some influence on the driving content!

And the point of this experiment seems to be that it mixes data obtained from ultra-small IoT sensors, which is a feature of &e, rather than just inferring from healthcare data.

In other words, you can reconcile with, "The conditions were like this at that time. So how was the driving?"

If you only look at health care data, it will end with "You were tired...", but if you compare it with the actual behavior of the car, you will see a deeper relationship between the condition of the driver and safe driving. yes.

... Huh? Maybe it's a great initiative at the level of a research institute or something...!?

&e (Andy) x Apple Watch Possibility to be a nice partner for drivers

After all! It's so authentic...

What security can we expect from the Apple Watch?

We will conduct research and experiments by increasing the number of wearable sensors called Apple Watch.

Is auto insurance such a service? The simple question is, what can we do with this data? I also heard about the possibility of the future a little ahead.

Notify before driving! Wouldn't it be very useful if this was implemented?

This is about possibilities, but for example, when you get in a car, there are times when you can't be aware of your physical condition. Lack of sleep, being in a hurry, lack of attention due to other reasons, being late and feeling oddly impatient. At that time...

"It's a bit different today, but are you okay? Be careful! Yes, drive safely!"

Like

, can you be someone who sees (perceives) a little change and gives you a word? I think.

In my case, my mom (mother) is exactly that kind of person.

I think this is a kind of "love", but if it's too much, you'll hate it, and because of your physical condition, even strangers can feel a little resistance. So when you need the Apple Watch you always wear. If so, I feel that my awareness of driving will change smoothly and naturally.

Also, it would be even better if I could eventually become a remote mother who can watch over my parents who live far away, or even the movement of important people.

The Apple Watch also has features to keep your family safe, and when that extends to "driving," as someone who actually has aging parents, it's a huge relief.

What is the goal of the &e experiment?

The future of safe driving with this Apple Watch.

There is also a desire to experience it as soon as possible, but the demonstration experiment that was conducted this time is also a closed one for a very limited number of users within the company, and it is said that it will be in the phase of collecting data for a while, so we It seems that the day when it can be used is still a bit ahead.

In the future, once data collection and analysis progress, we plan to test with a limited number of users. It seems that we will proceed toward the full-scale release while receiving feedback, so it may be a more accurate and reliable system by the time it goes out into the world.

Well, maybe healthcare data will lead to safe driving? What a clever idea, don't you think? Your focus is amazing.

Will a smartwatch become a must-have gadget for drivers?

"&e (Andy)" from E.Design Insurance, which seeks a way to a world without accidents from Apple Watch's healthcare data.

The research has only just begun, and at first glance it may seem like an outlandish fantasy. But I feel this is a very sensible and realistic approach.

Because it's too far in the future for cars all over Japan to become self-driving and have no accidents...

In addition to the maintenance of the road, it is also necessary to replace the car, so it costs a lot. In that case, I believe that this approach of talking to the drivers themselves to reduce accidents is a feasible and reliable method for homework to be submitted in the near future.

Perhaps the Apple Watch will become a must-have gadget for drivers in the future, and personally, if a test for users starts, I would definitely like to participate.

They care about my safety like family. The benefits are the same, but just wearing an Apple Watch as usual and living and driving may prevent someone's accident in the future. It feels good, and it's a unique new possibility for the Apple Watch.

More than 300,000 domestic traffic accidents per year will decrease thanks to the power of wearables and technology, which I love. I want to see the future that "&e" (Andy) is trying to create.
