We also have a bike helmet by POC with an ICEdot Crash Sensor.

POC has built upon its experience in developing ski helmets to develop a bike helmet that meets the demands of today’s bike users, from downhill, dirt, freeride and BMX to MTB and road bikes.

The ICEdot Crash Sensor, when paired with the ICEdot app on a smart phone, is able to detect motion, changes in forces and impacts. The app can notify your emergency contacts and send GPS coordinates of the incident.
