Driving with diabetes in the future: in-vehicle medical monitoring

The motor car is an important part of modern society, and as such many people spend large amounts of time behind wheel. More and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes, which can adversely affect the cognitive, motor, and sensory skills required to drive. This paper introduces the concept of using motor vehicles as devices to collect and deliver clinical information to diabetics, thereby reducing the chance of medical mishaps whilst driving. The development of such devices could promote cooperation between the automotive and medical industry and increase safety for drivers with diabetes.
