Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESCUING AN OVERBOARD PASSENGER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/152659
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method for rescuing an overboard passenger that provides a system for connecting individuals wirelessly to a base location, especially for maritime applications. The method accomplishes this by providing a wearable transmitter that is equipped to send signals to a centralized computer, enabling response to the wearable transmitter being outside of a certain radius or pre-mapped area. The wearable device decreases the time it takes for a maritime vessel to rescue a person who has fallen overboard. Maritime vessels are enabled to receive an alarm as soon as a person falls overboard and becomes out of range of the wireless connection. The system and method are suitable for sailors, fishermen, yachtsmen, passengers, and/or anyone on the sea. In addition, the system can be modified to be used by individuals with memory loss such as Alzheimer's, Dementia, or other medical diseases that require some monitoring over the individuals.
