Remote water safety device

摘要

There is a need in the water sensing alarm field for a device that alerts a supervisor when a child's nose and/or mouth come in contact with water that is easy to reset each time that the system is activated. This water safety device system includes a water alarm device for attachment to the user and alarm receiver device for monitoring by the supervisor. The water alarm device is configured to attach to the user expected to have contact with water and is worn on the user's head. The alarm receiver is configured to be used by the supervisor monitoring the user expected to have contact with water and contains visual, audio, and/or physical alert mechanisms. The water safety device system is activated by a momentary contact with water and sends an alert to the supervisor.
