Stick On. Connect. Ride.
This easy to use device can be put on any helmet, connect to any smartphone, and keep you safe on any ride. SMH detects for any dangerous collisions over the course of a bike ride, and will alert an emergency contact with your GPS coordinates in such an event. Along with a variety of different features, SMH is sure to keep you safe on any trail!
Mountain biking is a popular sport, but the unfortunate truth is that there is the undeniable possibility of facing an injury when on a trail. To make this matter even worse, mountain biking trails can often be in a remote location, which means that if a biker endures a head injury and is incapable of using their phone to call for help, they could be stranded for hours.
There is a clear need for an affordable and easy-to-use device that will protect bikers in such an event. To address this problem, we present SMH, a smart biking helmet and associated sensing system.
Before riding, the user can attatch SMH to the helmet via a GoPro adhesive, and connect to the device via bluetooth on their phone. The device will then detect for any dangerous collisions.
In such an event, the rider's phone will automatically send out a text message to the rider's emergency contact with their GPS coordinates, and emit a loud beeping noise to alert anyone else in the area.
Along with a display of miscellaneous environmental and health centric data on the handlebars and an array of other features, the SMH is sure to keep you safe on any bike ride!
