A driver or occupant health and alert monitoring and assistance system and associated techniques or methods include, among other features, monitoring vital signs of the driver and when these vital signs are determined to be outside of a predetermined range or pattern, alerting the driver via an infotainment system of a potential abnormal health condition and requesting a response from the driver regarding the same. Should the driver not respond within a predetermined period of time, the techniques further provide for taking emergency corrective action including autonomously slowing down the vehicle to a stop, alerting the emergency 911 system of the driver's situation, and/or alerting predetermined emergency contacts of the driver's potential abnormal health condition and vehicle state.
