Water & Drowning Detection

Eight-point conductivity sensors detect submersion instantly, distinguishing between splashing, swimming, and drowning.

In Simple Terms

"The bracelet knows if you're in the pool, the bath, or just got splashed. If you go underwater and don't come back up, it tells your parents super fast — way faster than a lifeguard can see you."

How It Works

Eight conductivity electrodes arranged around the band create a moisture detection grid. By measuring resistance patterns across electrode pairs, the system classifies: dry, splash, partial submersion, and full submersion.

The system distinguishes between salt water and fresh water (different conductivity), and between intentional swimming (rhythmic motion + controlled heart rate) and drowning (erratic motion + elevated heart rate + prolonged submersion).

Drowning detection triggers in under 15 seconds of submersion without swimming motion. The alert includes GPS coordinates, water type classification, and duration of submersion.

IP65-rated housing protects all electronics. The bracelet continues functioning normally in water — it's designed for kids who swim, play in sprinklers, and take baths.

Water Exposure Detection

SafeStep's multi-point conductivity sensors detect water contact in real time — from a splash at the pool to full submersion. Alerts escalate automatically based on exposure level.
