Problem

Every single year over 300.000 people die from drowning making it the third leading cause of unintentional death in the world.

Most of these cases occur because of the lack of lifeguards on water areas where the lifeguard supervision is not adequate for that area or simply doesn’t exist at all, which ultimately results in a bad reaction time in cases of accidents when every second counts for saving people’s life

Solution

ADRILS is the first ever intelligent lifeguard system that uses artificial intelligence with robotic lifebouy for complete surveillance and early-stage drowning detection with fully autonomous abovewater and underwater rescue.

With that system provides a safe environment for swimmers in all water areas due to lack of lifeguards.
