Abu Dhabi Police introduces smart helmet
Major Ahmed Obeid Al Obaidly, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation and Future Foresight, commented: “Our participation in this event is part of Abu Dhabi Police’s strategy to enhance institutional excellence, encourage creativity and innovation, and ensure readiness for the future.
“The smart helmet invented by Abu Dhabi Police staff is a wearable electronic device that helps police personnel to improve their concentration levels. It is also able to analyse brain signals, concentration patterns and use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to send recommendations to improve concentration levels.
“The device supports the development of training initiatives, increasing productivity and enhances police performance. It provides accurate readings, is easy to operate, and is highly efficient and secure.”
The 48th edition of Geneva International Invention Fair saw more than a thousand inventors participating from 45 countries.
