Much of the time when I report on a gadget, it is because I encountered a situation where I needed it. For example, I was at the pool the other day with my kids, and since I have three, I have to keep track of them off and on. My third kid was playing in the shallow end, and I wanted to check in on him to make certain he wasn’t getting in any trouble.

If I had the iSwimband, I could use its power of water-detection coupled with a Bluetooth sensor to monitor my youngest. This iSwimband can send an alert to my smartphone if my child’s head went underwater. Assuming that I was nearby, I could quickly get to my kid before he drowned.

I have to admit, it might be easier to just watch my kid rather than depend on a headband like this. For those that might own a swimming pool and are worried that their children might accidentally fall might find it helpful.

Yeah, I honestly think that there is a definite market for this iSwimband. You should be able to purchase it for about $100 on the iSwimband site.
