Poseidon Australia – Drowning Detection Technology

Poseidon is the world’s leading drowning detection technology, developed by Maytronics Limited and specifically designed for public and commercial pools. Poseidon supports the work of lifeguards by providing continual surveillance of the pool surface and floor – something humans cannot do – and alerting lifeguards to the exact location of a drowning event, so a swift rescue can be made. It is the only computer vision technology that meets the International Organization for Standardization global standard: ISO 20380. Poseidon is installed in more than 250 public pools around the world. Research shows that when technology is combined with human lifeguards, your chance of being successfully detected within the crucial first 10 seconds goes from 16.4% to over 84%. New Royal Life Saving Australia research into drownings in public pools in Australia across a 10-year period from 2005 to 2015, has revealed that 78 people fatally drowned and a further 362 people were hospitalised due to their drowning injuries. Poseidon Australia is working to raise awareness of its technology in Australia, New Zealand and Southern Asia and reinforce the fact that Drowning is Preventable.
