(DAILYMAIL) — University students in the Netherlands have worked with KLM employees to design an app that would allow flight attendants to identify passengers who are feeling anxious or ill.
The Flightbeat app would monitor the physical and mental well-being of passengers through heart rate sensors built into their seats, said Flaminia Del Conte, who worked on the project with four others.
She told MailOnline Travel that the app is still a concept, but the sensor technology exists and is being looked at by at least one major car manufacturer.
