Reducing Aviation Fatalities

Looking at physiological data we can detect if pilot is under stress.

Most flight accidents are caused by a loss of "airplane state awareness". That is, the crew being unable to stay focused. Pilots may be distracted or sleepy, which can quickly lead to a disaster.



The challenge was to build a model to detect potentially dangerous situations from aircrew's physiological data. Using the breath, heart and brain signals recorded from pilots test situations, I developed a model to monitor their cognitive state. With such tool pilots could then be alerted when they a dangerous state, preventing accidents and saving lives.
