Deep Blink 

In the future, the DeepBlink™ water safety belt has potential for improvements and additions to its design. For example, instead of a pull cord, it will be helpful to use an automatic sensor that can be triggered in water only, to prevent false activation in non-dangerous conditions. A second type of automatic sensor could be used to make sure that when the child experiences difficulty in swimming the sensor will automatically turn the alert signal on. Individuals will be educated about the product in order for them to be able to use the product correctly and efficiently. It is also recommended to make the belt in a variety of colourful and attractive designs for children.

Other considerations include things such as:

• adding more intense light sources
• including a sound component to accompany the visual stimuli
• making the belt out of NeoPrene
• promoting the DeepBlink™ so that the general North American public may know about its use, consequently the number of drowning cases will decrease
• including additional sets of light clusters so the user may configure their belt with more than the original four

By following these future plans, the DeepBlink™ operating device will aspire towards achieving a high performance level product to provide maximum water safety to today’s children, not only in public pools, but also in all bodies of water.
