The CDC estimates that there are more than 12,000 drowning incidents in the United States each year, with over one-third of these resulting in terminal outcomes. When you factor in the rest of the world, these numbers mushroom. While the data point to an obviously critical need for advanced measures to ensure water safety, the approach to this, and the accompanying technology, haven’t evolved much in years. Unquestionably, lifeguards are the essential front line of defense to protect swimmers, but the support they get from technology is limited.
AI: elevating existing pool cameras to the next level
With rapid advances in technology, including the evolution of AI, all bets for the limitations of pool safety technology are off. “We have integrated advanced AI with existing CCTV camera technology to deliver the next level of pool safety to swimming pools everywhere” says Omer Bar-Ilan, CEO of Lynxight. “The existing cameras are instantly elevated in their capabilities to see above and below the water to attain complete scene understanding” Bar-Ilan added. This feeds real-time alerts delivered to the waterproof smartwatch on a lifeguard’s wrist – including swimmer distress and its exact location in the pool – enabling them to respond to incidents up to six times faster.
Smarter pool management also means lower energy costs
In addition to better pool safety, smarter pool management is critical to maintain cost-effective and efficient pool operations, especially in this era of rising energy prices. “Your pool operations generate a trove of data, and if you can tap into it effectively, you can unlock a host of efficiencies, from better energy management to optimization in scheduling, all of which contribute to reduced costs and increased bottom line performance” said Eyal Amit, Lynxight’s CCO. By providing pool operators with access to a dashboard that allows them to visualize data, Lynxight helps them make better decisions informed by insights and unparalleled coverage, with every tile of the pool monitored from at least two different angles. “Applying data-driven insights to pool management has yielded dramatic results, with pool managers reporting cost reductions of up to 20%” added Amit, concluding that “it’s the kind of inverse relationship we like to see when pools use the Lynxight system – safety increasing and costs declining.”
The innovation behind pool safety-as-a-service
The innovation that Lynxight brings isn’t just confined to its advanced pool safety technology, but also extends to its ease of implementation. “Lynxight makes expensive hardware and complex installations, as well as the costly service disruptions the latter causes, a thing of the past” said Bar-Ilan, Lynxight’s CEO. “We offer pool safety-as-a-service, so regardless of your pool’s shape, color, size, or material, we can get you up and running in a matter of days, not weeks or months” added Bar-Ilan. Not only does Lynxight provide maximum pool safety and value from day one, but it can be up and running up to 100 times faster than other less advanced pool safety solutions. “When it comes to protecting lives and guaranteeing the best experience in the water for everyone, every minute counts” Bar-Ilan said.
