New American scientists have come up with the idea of turning a conventional helmet into a smart device capable of sending a self-help signal when a user experiences an accident.

The hat is designed to include a very thin sensor called the ICEdot Crash that is attached to the helmet, and a similar pair is attached to the smartphone.

When the sensor detects any sign of an accident, it immediately sends a notification to all emergency contacts in the user's directory if there is no response after 30 seconds.

The GPS positioning system will provide the location of the accident and the condition of the victim to the relatives of the victim.

The cost of wearing a helmet like this is not too expensive. Users only need to spend about 200 USD and 10 USD subscription service. The product will be available in the market next year.
