Faridabad: Engineering students of Manav Rachna College of Engineering (MRCE), Faridabad, have developed a ‘Smart Skull’ and it is a life-saving helmet device for bikers. The device has a crash detection system which is paired with the rider’s smart-phone.
In the event of an accident or crash, the device gets activated and through the smart phone automatically makes a call to the victim’s family/relatives and can inform them about the mishap. The device consumes minimum power of about 3.3 volts and is equipped for an impact detection of up to 200 gm force.
Explaining about the device, Chaitanya Chhabra, one of the students who made the device, says, “It took us one and half months to make this device and before making it we did our research and spoke to Neuro-surgeons also. At first they told us how important it is to admit a patient in time since most of the deaths take place because the patient loses out on precious medical aid. So, this device will prove to be of huge benefit.” |
