iSwimband Brings Connected Water Safety to Your Smartphone



iSwimband-BOY_w_BRACELETWater safety is a big issue for prevention and awareness here in the United States. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in young children and sadly is almost always preventable. Health Tech Weekly host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic got the chance to chat with iSwimband COO Paul Newcomb about the iSwimband device and the additions to the product line and app since their interview last year.

The iSwimband is a small digital device that attaches to your child’s swimsuit or goggles with a clip to allow them to swim safely because you are instantly alerted when they are in danger. The alerts to the app can be adjusted to warn you the instant the iSwimband contacts water for younger children or allow alerts when submerged for up to 60 seconds for older children and accomplished swimmers.
