SWIM-ASSIST gives visually impaired/blind people fully autonomous auditory feedback as soon as they approach the edge of the pool during swimming.

This is technologically realised using artificial intelligence and Bluetooth bone conduction headphones.

The awards were given to research projects in the fields of artificial intelligence / digitalisation, child safety and damage caused by climate change. Our warmest congratulations!
