SwimEye investigates Drowning Detection With New Simulations

To further improve the accuracy of its drowning detection technology, SwimEye conducted advanced simulations in Stavanger Swimming Hall before Christmas. The goal was to better understand the subtle and often silent movement patterns that occur when a person is in distress — and to train the system to recognize these critical signals.

SwimEye received professional support from Marthe Willumsen, one of Norway’s top swimmers. Her expertise made it possible to safely recreate realistic and complex drowning‑like scenarios, providing high‑quality data for the system’s next development stage.

These simulations represent an important step toward SwimEye’s next‑generation safety solution, strengthening the technology’s ability to distinguish real emergencies from normal activity — and contributing to safer pools across Europe.
