Like cycling and regularly practice this sport? This this case you may come in handy. Apart from its obvious function of protecting our heads against possible fall, the new helmet  LifeBEAM handles some things more as discussed below.
LifeBEAM is a small company with great potential and well-qualified staff, and that is clear from this kind of creations. What we are seeing in the picture is also the rider and his bike, the first intelligent cycling helmet. This town known for being able to monitor our vital signs suchas heart rate and so on, and all this is possible thanks to the technology electro-optics.
On the front of the hull can find an optical sensor that contacts our forehead. By doing this, the sensor transmits signals to the processing unit located on the rear of the helmet. This unit is responsible for transmitting the data to a mobile device through a Bluetooth connection. From your mobile phone will be able to see our vital signs and check if all is well.
It is worth mentioning that the project is not completely finished yet, but LifeBEAM is working hard at it.
