# Anti-Fatigue Driving Wearables The 'STEER' Wearable Device Ensures You Don't Fall Asleep By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-07-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steer-wearable-device References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/article/steer-wearable-driving-aid/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creativemode/steer-you-will-never-fall-asleep-while-driving) Drowsy driving is almost as dangerous as [drunk driving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drunk-driving-detection) and is the cause for tens of thousands of deaths each year, so the 'STEER' Wearable Device is here to help provide a way to combat against the occurrence. The device works by being [worn on your wrist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakeband) and instantly goes to work analyzing [your heart rate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alveos-one) and your skin conductance every two-seconds in order to detect as soon as you're starting to get tired. If the device detects that you're tired, it will warn with you a vibration and a yellow light and, if ignored with a declining heart rate in unison, the device will shock you. The 'STEER' Wearable Device will last up to two weeks on the charge of the internal battery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Drowsy Driving Prevention:** Wearable gadgets that can detect the user's fatigue level and prevent them from falling asleep while driving are gaining popularity. - **Real-time Health Monitoring:** Real-time monitoring of physical conditions such as heart rate and skin conductance is becoming a critical feature of wearable tech. - **Personal Safety Wearables:** Wearable devices that provide protection from accidents and personal injuries by detecting and alerting users of potential dangers are becoming more prevalent. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Anti-fatigue driving wearables can be integrated into vehicles to provide users with an extra layer of safety and prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue. - **Wearable Technology:** The growing demand for wearables that promote health and wellness is driving the development of innovative anti-fatigue driving wearables that can monitor and analyze the user's physical condition. - **Workplace Safety:** Employers can provide anti-fatigue driving wearables to their employees who drive as part of their job to ensure their safety and comply with safety regulations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slumber-Inducing Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-devices.md) - [Brain-Protecting Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainprotecting-wearable-device.md) - [Soothing Sleep Tracker Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-bracelet.md) - [Alcohol-Monitoring Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholmonitoring-bracelet.md) - [AI-Enabled Anti-Snoring Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepmi-z4.md) - [AI-Powered Sleep Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frenz-brainband.md) - [Snoring Correction Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepmi-z3.md) - [Contactless Smart Sleep Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remwave-sleep.md) - [Stress-Relieving Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cove.md)
