Read about what Ford is working on here. A car that will check on your health while you're driving! Since being sedentary (sedentarianism, hypokinetic disease) is one of our major risk factors, will this car check to see if you've been sitting too much and stop the car, force you to get out (eject-a-couch-potato?), and then make you walk or run after it as it drives off?
If all cars did that, imagine the positive impact on the health of our nation!!! We would save BILLIONS of $$$ in healthcare costs, costs associated with hypokinetic disease!!!
I hope someone at this Ford project reads this...but I'm not holding my breath. ;-)
According to a series on PA published in Lancet 2012, physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of death worldwide. This blog is dedicated to eradicating HYPOKINETIC DISEASE. We are missing out on the most powerful "pill" to improve the health and quality of life for all Americans!
