This watch should detect if the user is alive and have a pulse,
and also make it mandatory to wear it or else the wireless
signal stops transmitting its "go" signal.
The fact is that a kill-switch string around your wrist does not
make it mandatory to really wear it, simply connect it and
leave
it hanging.
The watch could transmit its "go" signal by RFID, if there is no
pulse, the RFID tag should be disabled, or respond with "no-
go". Maybe Bluetooth 4 low power mode could be used
instead.
Dead man's switch, kill cord.

If it detects I have died, can I have it clear my
browser history? |

If I understand this correctly, and I'm not all that certain
that I do, this is a biometric monitor that straps to the
wrist and transmits a distress signal if the wearer's vital
signs are compromised. |
|
| |
If this is the case, such devices are Fully Baked and Widely
Known To Exist. |
|
| |
If not, then I don't get it. |
|
| |
Maybe the "go" signal drives the watch and the point of this idea is to establish time of death. |
|
| |
That would be the perfect gift for the neurotic aging
relative who's obsessed with every last detail. |

Seriously, Jonas is talking about an RF signal, that
stops the car if the driver inside is without a pulse.
Good for old men driving with a 40 years expired
license or for Indian Yogis, who do meditation in
automatic cars during the red light, and may let go of
the brakes accidentally, when levitating. |
|
| |
Where exactly does the idea mention a car? |
|
| |
How about a Black Watch kill-swatch? |
|
| |
All you'd need is a camera with some basic image recognition and a swatch of tartan, of the Black Watch variety. |
|
| |
Just wave the tartan at the camera and it'll do..something. |
|
| |
This is not that bad an idea, actually. |
|
| |
Useful for jetskis, powerboats, motorbikes, snowmobiles. |
|
| |
Could have applications in mainline trains and urban light rail systems too. |

8th_of_7 is dead on! The invention is triggered by an
terrible accident by powerboat. The "kill-cord" was not
activated and why is that? |
|
| |
Maybe this watch sensor would have had more adaption by
users, and we users love cool tech :-) |
