Abstract
A potential drowning incident detection system and its constituent components are disclosed. The system includes a device worn on a head of a swimmer, which includes one or more signal generating units. The signal generating units may be positioned on the device adjacent each temple of the swimmer when worn. The system further includes at least one hub configured to receive wireless signals from the signal generating units, and may further be in communication with a server. The hub and/or server may generate an alert or warning when the signals of the signal generating units are not received by the at least one sensor hub. The alert or warning may further be triggered to a wearable device provided to a responder, such as a life guard. Data collected from the swimmer-worn devices may be stored for later analysis.
