The 110 Sec. is a lifeguard system comprising a smart wristband, a flotation armband, and a lifeguard tablet, creating a fully integrated rescue network. The wristband continuously monitors vital signs and triggers alerts, enabling swift intervention. The armband's inflatable bladder ensures the swimmer's head remains above water. The lifeguard tablet offers real-time monitoring, precise location tracking, and immediate visual alerts, guiding rapid response. Designed for minimal drag, maximum comfort, and ease of use, the system enhances pool safety without compromising the swimmer's experience.
With swimming’s growing popularity as a recreational and fitness activity, pool safety is paramount. However, the insidious nature of drowning—often occurring silently and without immediate notice—means victims frequently miss the crucial window for rescue. The 110 Sec. System directly addresses this critical gap, leveraging smart technology for proactive alerts, providing lifeguards with 110 invaluable seconds and establishing a new standard: “Alert Equals Rescue.”
Equipped with high-precision sensors, the wristband continuously monitors heart rate, respiratory rate, and other key vitals, transmitting data to the lifeguard tablet. Abnormal readings automatically trigger emergency mode, sending alerts to both the armband and the rescue system. A manual pull-cord allows for immediate user activation. The wristband's red alert light enhances visibility, aiding in rapid location pinpointing. The low-profile design ensures comfort and a secure fit for various wrist sizes. It also includes a built-in smart key for locker access.
Upon receiving an emergency signal, the armband's integrated air bladder automatically inflates, providing crucial head buoyancy and ensuring the swimmer stays afloat. This ergonomic design, crafted from lightweight, comfortable materials, minimizes disruption to the swimmer’s movements.
The lifeguard tablet serves as the system's central monitoring hub, displaying the real-time vital signs and locations of all active wristbands. Drowning alerts trigger a precise visual indicator (red dot) on the tablet, instantly guiding lifeguards to the distressed swimmer's location. The tablet's rugged, waterproof, and shock-resistant design ensures durability and reliable performance in demanding aquatic environments.
