[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The invention relates to the health control, tracking and warning system used in vehicles, which reduces the rate of involvement in accidents due to health-related problems experienced by vehicle users, employees and passengers while driving, continuously monitors the health status of the vehicle user, employees and passengers through sensors located on the handlebars, steering arm, control panel, joystick, control panel, joystick, steering wheel, steering column, steering wheel, seat belt, armrest and / or handrest, can be both fitted and assembled, and thus can be applied to furniture or work machines.
[0004] PRIOR ART
[0005] Nowadays, accidents may occur due to heart attacks or other health problems in the vehicle, and this affects the life safety of both the driver, other vehicle users and those in the vehicle. Some of the existing systems have software that can detect whether there is a health problem from the movements of the person driving the vehicle, but there is no system that checks the health of the driver or passengers in the vehicle without driving, directs the situation or gives suggestions before the driver's condition worsens. Today's vehicles have inadequate health conditions and lack of control. The existence of health problems of the vehicle user before driving causes problems while driving and being involved in accidents.
[0006] As a result of the research conducted in the literature, a Turkish patent application with application number "2023 / 018305" and the invention title "AUTONOMOUS IN-VEHICLE DRIVER HEALTH CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD" was encountered. The subject application is a driver health control system that is integrated into the autonomous vehicle and communicates with the on-board computer comprising; an ultrasonic motion sensor that monitors the movements of the vehicle user, an ultrasonic motion sensor that detects when the user is immobilised, a pulse oximetry sensor that monitors the pulse of the vehicle user and detects when the pulse is at a critical level, GPS, which determines the current position of the vehicle and the location of the nearest health institution, a processor that communicates with all these elements and generates output according to the incoming data and sends a command to the vehicle computer with location information to move to the nearest health institution if the user's health condition is poor. However, in the mentioned application, there was no evidence of a system that continuously monitors the health status of the vehicle user, passengers or employees by means of sensors located on the handlebar, steering wheel, control panel, control lever, control panel, joystick, steering wheel, steering handle, driving wheel, seat belt, armrest and / or handrest, which reduces the rate of involvement in accidents due to health problems experienced by the vehicle user during vehicle use.

In this case, the information from all sensors is interpreted and the analysis result is shared with the user. The information received from the camera (10), the information received from the sensors placed on the handlebars, rudder, control panel, control lever, joystick, steering handle, steering wheel and driving wheel, armrest or handrest is evaluated and / or interpreted by artificial intelligence and the result is transmitted to the user.
[0037] Heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV), glucose (sugar) value in sweat or interstitial fluid, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) with fingertip sensed data, body temperature, electrical conductivity of the skin, value of ambient pressure, value of carbon monoxide, potential heavy metal excesses, minerals, real-time measured values of bioavailability levels, trace elements, vitamins and oxidative stress, and when exhaled, body information, which is the value of the amount of alcohol in the blood from the alcohol ratio in the air in the breath, is received and information is sent to the user via mobile application and / or in-vehicle communication equipment / display (13) with the sensors to be placed on the vehicle handlebar, steering wheel, control panel, control lever, control panel, joystick, steering arm, steering handle, steering arm, driving wheel, armrest or handrest, and when the vehicle user touches the handlebar, steering wheel, control panel, control panel, control lever, control panel, joystick, driving wheel, steering handle, steering arm, armrest or handrest or wheel, thanks to the artificial intelligence in the analysis application (15), warnings about driving or passengers and employees can be shared with the users in audio / written / visual / electronic form.
[0038] With the sensors placed on the vehicle seat belt, when the vehicle user puts on the seat belt, heart rate and heart rate variability, carbon monoxide value body information is received and information is sent to the user via mobile application and / or in-vehicle communication equipment / screen (13) and warnings about vehicle use-use or passengers and employees are also shared with users thanks to artificial intelligence.
[0039] Depending on the medical value, warnings / notifications may be made to the driver, passenger or employees that they should not drive, that it is not appropriate for them to drive, that action can be taken upon recommendation, or that they can drive the vehicle. If the non-driving or travel status notification is higher than the medical equivalent of the measured value, a warning is given. If it is not appropriate to drive and the measured value is moderate or low according to the medical result, a warning is given and the recommendation is continued. Warning that it can act in case of a recommendation, the recommendation is made by evaluating the medical result of the measured value. The warning that the driver can drive the vehicle will not have any obstacle to the medical value of the measured value. The recommendation is continued and the vehicle is available for use. These driving cases are adjusted through the artificial intelligence software in the analysis application (15). In our invention, artificial intelligence renews itself every moment and analyzes the information and makes decisions in the most appropriate way.
