Automotive Health Study: Understanding health assistance in the vehicle

The Automotive Health Study by TÜV NORD shows how in-vehicle health functions are becoming a key component of future safety and driver assistance concepts – and what opportunities this presents for manufacturers and suppliers.

Do you work in the research and development department of a vehicle manufacturer or supplier – as a specialist or manager? Then this study is just right for you if you

• are looking for robust classifications of current and future health assistance systems,
• need valid data on effectiveness, acceptance and willingness to pay,
• wish to gain a regulatory perspective on new in-vehicle technologies.

Drivers’ health conditions affect their attention, reaction times and driving safety – and thus the risk of accidents. At the same time, digitalisation, sensor technology and AI are, for the first time, enabling continuous, context-aware assessment of a driver’s condition within the vehicle in real time.

The Automotive Health Study categorises these developments and answers key questions for vehicle development:

• Which health assistance systems make a measurable contribution to accident prevention?
• How do experts from the automotive industry, medicine and testing assess the benefits of these functions?
• What level of acceptance and willingness to pay is realistic?
• What new testing, validation and certification requirements are emerging for vehicle manufacturers?

By downloading the Automotive Health Study:

• Find out which automotive health features users actually accept – including realistic willingness to pay.
• Understand which technologies experts consider particularly effective in preventing accidents.
• Use the findings as a sound basis for decision-making regarding product development, business cases, and safety and regulatory concepts.
