Video Feedback Intervention for Cognitively Impaired Older Drivers

Status unconfirmed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Impaired Driving

In brief

This study will use an in-car monitoring system supplemented with video feedback to reduce the number of unsafe driving behaviors. If successful, this technology will provide a means to enhance public safety on the roads that could be adopted immediately in this at-risk group of drivers. The intervention will also maximize the time for independent driving, improving the overall quality of life of these individuals.
