Sightbit

Sightbit is an AI technology company that utilizes machine learning to enhance safety measures at public beaches and swimming areas. Their primary product, Sightbit Lifeguard Assistance, is designed to aid lifeguards by providing an extra layer of surveillance and early warning for potential water-related hazards. The system uses computer vision to monitor swimmers and alert lifeguards to situations such as a swimmer venturing too far from the shore, overcrowding, or children left unattended near water.

Founded in 2018, Sightbit was created with the goal of reducing the number of preventable drownings. The company's technology is built to complement the work of human lifeguards, not replace them, ensuring a safer beach experience for everyone. Sightbit's system can be deployed on various platforms, including fixed cameras, drones, and rovers, providing a wide coverage area. By blending AI with lifeguard expertise, Sightbit helps to improve response times, prevent accidents, and ultimately save lives.
