Hyundai Partners with MDGo

Hyundai is partnering with MDGo to co-develop connected services that bring the worlds of health and automotive closer and help shape the “next generation of advanced vehicle safety systems.”

Founded in 2017, MDGo is an Israeli startup using technology to interpret accident data and compile numerous sets of insights regarding the occupants and the vehicle.

Using the spectrum of sensors in the car and the MDGo technology, Hyundai will be able to send emergency services a wealth of data like injury level information and safety system activation. This will enable emergency services to assess the required scale of response and deploy appropriately skilled medical personnel before arriving at the scene of an accident.

The new partnership will also help Hyundai to enhance the active and passive safety capabilities of its vehicles. Big data gathered from detailed, intelligent analysis of multiple accident scenarios will inform Hyundai on how to bolster crash structures and integrate new technologies to overcome issues identified by the AI analysis.

“MDGo possesses exceptional AI analysis technology optimized for driver safety. Through this technology, we expect a significant improvement in the emergency medical services of vehicles in the short-term while our long-term goal is to provide innovations in passenger experience of vehicle safety utilizing new technology that enable real-time physical monitoring.” – Youngcho Chi, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Hyundai Motor Group.
