WASH Integrates DrownShieldAI Education Into All Lifeguard Training Programs
Preparing the Next Generation of Lifeguards Through Technology, Innovation, and Enhanced Water Safety Awareness
The World Academy of Safety & Health (WASH) is proud to announce the integration of DrownShieldAI education and awareness content into all WASH Lifeguard Training and Certification Programs. As advancements in artificial intelligence continue to transform safety and emergency response industries worldwide, WASH remains committed to ensuring that lifeguard candidates understand how emerging technologies can be used to support drowning prevention, enhance surveillance capabilities, and strengthen aquatic risk management practices.
Through this enhanced curriculum, lifeguard candidates will gain exposure to the principles of AI-assisted aquatic safety systems, including how technologies such as DrownShieldAI can complement traditional lifeguarding operations. Participants will learn how artificial intelligence may be utilized to assist with monitoring aquatic environments, identifying potential emergencies, supporting decision-making processes, and improving situational awareness in pools, waterparks, waterfronts, and other aquatic facilities. By combining proven lifesaving skills with knowledge of innovative safety technologies, WASH is helping prepare aquatic professionals to meet the evolving challenges of water safety while promoting safer environments in, on, and around the water.
How DrownShieldAI Protects Your Pool
This AI-powered system uses advanced technology to detect drowning risks in real-time, enhancing safety in public water facilities like aqua parks, swimming pools, and recreational areas. With advanced AI algorithms, our solution ensures seamless integration and alerts that arrive within 15 seconds, accurately identifying potential dangers and detecting drowning incidents for adults and children with equal precision.
1. Camera Captures Footage
High-definition cameras, positioned above your pool monitor 24/7, capturing every moment. Our system can utilize the existing pool cameras, enabling easy integration.
2. Jetson Processes Data
The Jetson device detects water surface, human presence and behaviour characteristic of potential drowning.
3. Alert Sent to Cloud
Upon detecting a risk, the system sends an alert to the cloud instantly.
4. Smartwatch Notification
Alerts are sent to a smartwatch device, enabling lifeguards to take rescue action.
AI has been trained on videos from various aqua parks, pools, rivers, lakes and seas recording drowning.
