The conceptual SOSwim Safety Bracelet has been designed by Mary Cherkasova as a wearable technology solution for children that would enable adults to keep a closer eye on them in aquatic environments. The discreet wearable works by being positioned onto the wrist and linked with a parent or caregiver's smartphone. The device will alert users of a problem immediately upon detection to help them take action as quickly as possible.
The conceptual SOSwim Safety Bracelet also functions as a fitness tracker for keeping an eye on the bodily temperature, time and distance. A series of 5mm LEDs are observed on the top, while a heart rate monitor, micro controller unit and Bluetooth chip are hidden inside. The noninvasive design of the wearable won't get in the way of a child playing.
