The Smart Safety Headphones
The "Smart Safety Headphones" project is a pioneering assistive device for the elderly, drawing inspiration from the snow owl’s mechanoelectrical sound transduction capabilities.
These headphones are engineered not only to enhance auditory perception for those with hearing loss but also include sensors that detect falls, triggering alerts for emergency situations. This dual-functionality ensures heightened safety and improved spatial awareness, allowing elderly users to maintain independence while being safeguarded through advanced technology.
