Abstract: A wearable combination drowning prevention and soothing device is operable in either a drowning prevention mode or a soothing mode. In the drowning prevention mode the device monitors a wearer's heart rate and a moisture sensor to determine when, and how long, the device is submerged. Upon occurrence of a condition of those parameters meeting a predefined state consistent with distress, the device transmits an alert signal to an associated mobile device. In the soothing mode the device likewise monitors the wearer's heartrate as well as movements, and upon an indication in those monitored parameter that the wearer may be agitated, the device plays selected audio over a speaker of the device in an attempt to soothe the wearer.

Abstract: A drowning prevention system. The drowning prevention system includes a housing having a strap affixed to opposing ends thereof. The strap removably secures the housing to a user, such that a heartbeat sensor connected to a pair of contacts on the housing is in contact with the user. A moisture sensor is also disposed within the housing. An alert signal is sent to a mobile device via a wireless transceiver disposed within the housing when either the moisture sensor or the heartbeat sensor detects a predefined abnormal situation, such as heartrates above a threshold heartrate for an extended period or upon detection of the housing being submerged in a volume of liquid.
