First Claim
1. A device for detecting drowning conditions and pre-conditions in a swimmer within a body of water, comprising:
- an oximeter;
a pulse sensor;
a processing unit; and
a transceiver coupled to the processing unit,wherein the sensors are in direct communication with the swimmer'"'"'s body and further coupled to the processing unit, andwherein the oximeter is arranged to sense oxygen levels in blood of the swimmer, the pulse sensor is arranged to sense a heartbeat rate of the swimmer, and the processing unit is arranged to process data from the sensors and determine drowning conditions and pre-conditions according to predefined parameters.

Abstract
A life saving device, system and method arranged for detecting drowning conditions and pre-conditions in a swimmer within a body of water. The device comprises at least one movement sensor, an optical sensor and a pulse sensor wherein all sensors being in direct communication with the swimmer'"'"'s body and further coupled to a processing unit which is coupled in turn to a wireless data transference unit. The movement sensors are arranged for identifying bodily movements patterns and orientation, the optical sensor is arranged for sensing oxygen level in the blood of the swimmer, the pulse sensor is arranged for sensing the heartbeat rate of the swimmer and the processing unit is arranged to process data from all sensors and determine drowning conditions and pre-conditions according to predefined parameters wherein the parameters are swimmer specific and exhibit a learning process.
