Abstract: An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information indicates a non-distress stats and notifies a second set of contact when the opioid monitoring information indicates an overdose event. The notification can be a phone call or text message to a specified person, emergency personnel, or first responders, and can include the location of the smart mobile device. The smart mobile device can also include the location of the nearest treatment center having emergency medication used in treating opioid overdose, such as naloxone.

Abstract: A roadside personnel safety system including a body-worn device assembly. The body-worn device assembly includes a microcontroller, a sensor, lights, a speaker, and haptic motors embedded in a device housing. The sensor detects possible hazardous vehicles passing near a work zone/emergency zone. The microcontroller actuates the lights, the speaker and the haptic motors when a vehicle is detected by the sensor. The microcontroller has a GPS integrated to determine the location of a wearer. The microcontroller is in communication with passing vehicles to alert the passing vehicles about the work zone/emergency zone, emergency zone, police officers, or tow truck operators in a road. The body-worn device assembly is aided by a sensing assembly including sensors to aid the detection of hazardous vehicles passing near the work zone/emergency zone.

The driver monitoring system includes an internal vehicle camera, an internal vehicle display, and an electronic control unit (ECU). When a driver enters the vehicle, a request (e.g., an agreement) can be displayed to the vehicle driver so as to prompt the vehicle driver to provide a driver input. In response to the vehicle driver providing the driver input, the ECU can adjust an allowable glance time. The ECU can be configured to determine, using the camera, that the eye position of the vehicle driver is such that a gaze direction of the vehicle driver is not toward a direction of travel of the vehicle for a duration that exceeds the adjusted glance time. In response thereto, the ECU can be configured to initiate a countermeasure to encourage a corrective response from the vehicle driver.
