Drowning Prevention Wearable Tracker
Started June 16, 2026
Abstract or project description
Ananth is working on building and programming his own drowning prevention wearable tracker designed to improve swimmer safety and enable faster emergency response. He is developing the software for a companion mobile application while also wiring, assembling, and programming the wearable device and its accompanying alert display. The wearable is intended to be worn by swimmers and continuously monitors for signs of potential distress. If a dangerous situation is detected, the system sends an alert to the display used by lifeguards and other authorized personnel, allowing them to respond more quickly and potentially prevent drowning incidents, improving safety in aquatic environments.
