Show Notes:
0:50 - Jason introduces the episode. Jason raises the concern surrounding one of the leading causes of death in the world: drowning.
1:30 - Jason introduces Mark Caron, a founder who is working with technology to detect swimmers in distress. Mark is the co-founder of WAVE drowning detection.
2:56 - How does WAVE technology work? Mark explains that it is very difficult to identify when someone is drowning in water, versus simply swimming. WAVE detection is used through wearable technology.
5:06 - Mark explains how the technology actually works. The technology relies on bluetooth signals, which are cut off as soon as the headgear enters water.
6:54 - How would you know which particular unit is in the water? As Bluetooth is not GPS technology. Triangulation is a part of the future research and testing that is being conducted at WAVE.
