ABSTRACT
Health and well being are the basic needs of people. Now-a-days everyone wants to be fit and healthy which
brings out a better version of themselves. In this modern era most of the people use car for travelling. They
spent a lot of time in travelling a long distances for a long period of time. There is a significant rise in
innovations that came up to enhance the technology of cars. We can also improve the health of the people who
spent a lot of time in their cars by implementing smart sensors which monitor the internal environment of the
car as well as the person who is driving the car. An air humidifier can be utilized which monitors the humidity
level inside the car and keeps it at a healthy level. Furthermore pulse oximeter measures the blood oxygen
levels of the driver. This can be implemented in the steering wheel of the car. The sensors which are used for
monitoring the health parameters are heart rate, blood pressure, alcohol and temperature. Apart from these
sensors an oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen levels in air which enters the car. Using this system we can keep
track of the car’s inside environment as well as the health of the people who travel in car. And we can also keep
track of the route using GPS.

I. INTRODUCTION
In this 21
st
century almost every one owns a car and
they travel from one place to another or they might
go for long a drive which takes more time. And the
emerging technology is also being improved in the
automotive field tremendously. A lot of new features
are being added in the car which provides
entertainment as well as the safety to the people who
travel. One among the safety features is the air bag
system which provides the occupants a soft
cushioning and restrain during the crash event to
prevent or reduce any impact or impact caused
injuries between the flailing occupant and the interior
of the vehicle.
Not only the safety measures but also the innovations
came up implementing the healthcare and wellness
features into car. Using this system we can monitor
the internal environment using sensors like Humidity
– Air Humidifier and Oxygen. There might some
situations like heavy traffic jam during which the
environment inside the car might get affected. We can
control these situations by providing a healthy
environment for the occupants in car. Even if there
are any irregularities in health of the person who is
driving can be known and necessary help can be
provided. This can be achieved by using the sensors
which monitor the health of the driver.
These sensors are attached to the Arduino board
which analyses the data and transfer the information
to the emergency help service or the relatives of
