The wearable technology consists of a [headband designed to detect fatigue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-s-athena) in drivers and acts as a early warning system to save lives. The Bluetooth device monitors brainwaves and sends notifications in real-time to a mobile device. Accurate 90% of the time, the Alert Band tells drivers they are going to fall asleep 3 to 5 minutes before they actually do. Whether you are a truck driver, have a [sleep disorder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pajama-top) or are taking a long road-trip, this device could significantly reduce the likelihood you have an accident. Impecca will be displaying the device at CES booth #30932 from January 6th to 9th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fatigue-detecting Wearables:** Wearable technology designed to detect fatigue in drivers could have a disruptive impact on public safety and transportation. - **Real-time Monitoring Devices:** The use of real-time fatigue monitoring devices indicates a trend towards more proactive safety measures. - **Bluetooth Brainwave Monitoring:** The integration of Bluetooth technology to monitor brainwaves could have a significant impact on personal safety technology. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Transportation:** The Alert Band has direct implications for the transportation industry, particularly for the commercial trucking and bus sectors. - **Healthcare:** The technology used by the Alert Band has potential applications in healthcare to monitor fatigue in patients with sleep disorders. - **Wearable Technology:** Fatigue-tracking wearables like the Alert Band represent a significant opportunity for the wearable technology industry to expand beyond fitness tracking and into personal safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slumber-Inducing Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-devices.md) - [Sleep-Focused Brainwave-Monitoring Personal Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumisleep.md) - [AI-Powered Smart Sleep Headbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-smart-sleep-headband.md) - [Sleep-Improving Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse.md) - [Smart Sleep Headbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-sleep-headband.md) - [Silent Wake-Up Wristbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakeband.md) - [Soothing Sleep Tracker Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-bracelet.md) - [Contactless Smart Sleep Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remwave-sleep.md) - [Eye-Tracking Sleep Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/somasleep.md)
