# Emergency Response Helmets The Bebop Helmet Sensor Can Automatically Call an Ambulance By Joey Haar | Published 2016-11-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bebop-helmet-sensor References: [bebopsensors](http://www.bebopsensors.com/) There's no question that wearing a helmet while cycling or riding a motorcycle is an absolute necessity from a safety standpoint, but the Bebop Helmet Sensor offers a vast improvement on helmets themselves. The smart helmet sensor system can accurately and precisely locate where an impact made the most damage on a helmet, and it even has the ability to call emergency responders if it senses that the damage was extreme enough. While there are other smart helmets available that have the ability to call emergency responders, the Bebop Helmet Sensor separates itself from these thanks to the accuracy of its system. Other helmets have generalized sensors that will call an ambulance for any impact, leading to a significant amount of false alarms. The Bebop Helmet Sensor can detect what area of the head received an impact (e.g. the temples versus the top of the head,) and it will only call authorities if the impact to the specific head region was strong enough to cause a serious injury. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Helmet Sensors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced smart helmet sensors that accurately detect impact areas and call emergency responders only for severe injuries. - **Precise Damage Localization:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create technologies that can precisely locate the area of impact on helmets and provide accurate injury assessment. - **False Alarm Reduction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Devise improved algorithms and sensors to reduce false alarms in smart helmet emergency response systems. ### Who This Affects Most - **Safety Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with tech companies to integrate advanced smart helmet sensor systems into safety equipment manufacturing processes. - **Emergency Response Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore partnerships or develop technologies to enhance emergency response services by integrating smart helmet sensors. - **Sports and Recreation Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new market opportunities by incorporating advanced smart helmet sensor technologies into sports and recreation equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Cyclist Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unit-1-faro-smart-helmet.md) - [Smart Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smarthat.md) - [Intelligent Hockey Player Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearmind-helmet.md) - [AI-Powered Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livall-ai-visual-smart-helmet.md) - [Crash-Detecting Commuter Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialized-tone-commuter-helmet.md) - [Brain-Protecting Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainprotecting-wearable-device.md) - [AR-Enabled Ski Rescue Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argus-ar-helmet.md) - [Connected Adventure Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sena-m1-m1-evo.md) - [Self-Inflating Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumpair-20.md)
