“Swim at your own risk” is a statement that should be supported with a product that minimizes the risk of swimming in the ocean or areas where predators are lurking. Too many times, we have heard the story of children playing in the ocean, a person out for a morning swim, or a surfer trying to catch a wave is attacked by a shark. Many times, the shark isn’t trying to consume us, it is just trying to figure out what we are. However, that one exploratory bite can prove fatal. Lifeguards are great at rescuing a person once the attack has taken place, however, wouldn’t it be better to have a Lifeguard in the sky that could protect you before the attack ever takes place? The HOVER HERO is this type of lifeguard and that type of product. The HOVER HERO is an unmanned aerial vehicle that contains novel AI I.D. software and firmware for immediate movement and shape recognition and identification. Simply sync your HERO wristband with the HOVER HERO drone via the HOVER HERO App, set its hovering height through the APP to increase its sight radius, and go…worry free! You don’t fly the HOVER HERO. It communicates directly with the HERO wristband and follows you wherever you go at the specific height you indicated in the App. It is that simple! If a shark or other predator is identified, the drone will send a haptic impulse to the HERO wristband alerting the person to exit the water or seek a safer area. All detections are captured with pictures and stored on the App for viewing.
In addition, at home the parents can place the HERO wrist band on their child and release the HOVER HERO drone to watch over him/her while they’re playing, allowing the parent to check on them in real time through the HOVER HERO App. In addition, the HOVER HERO can be used as a video recorder to film the user while snow skiing, surfing, etc. HOVER HERO also has DoD and law enforcement applications as well. HOVER HERO is your lifeguard in the sky!
Unique features:
- First wristband to drone control – no controller
- First lifeguard drone that watches for predators from above
- First drone to wristband communication
- Overhead video capture that follows the user wearing the wristband - can be used while skiing, surfing, etc. to capture the user's adventures
- I.D. software and firmware that identifies subtle movements and shapes of predators to make determinations
- All settings and flights controlled through the application
- Predator detections are captured with pictures and stored on the App so that the user can exit the water and see what the HOVER HERO captured.
- Foldable hardware for flight and packing purposes
- Drone can fly anywhere from 5 feet to 250 feet above the user with the wristband attached
- Drone doesn't change height with subtle movements - it finds the program altitude above the user and doesn't fluctuate within 5 feet change in height of the wristbands position.
- Drone is waterproof
- Dedicated return mat/portal that the drone returns to when battery is running low
I am a serial inventor having appeared on the TV show Driver v. Driver 2 on Golf Channel in 2018 and was one of the last 20 cut from Shark Tank in 2021. As an inventor, entrepreneur, practitioner and medical device innovation professional, I’ve consistently enjoyed developing products and services that enhance people’s health, joy, and quality of life.

When developing simple, intuitive, and impactful new products for the market I feel it is important to fail as fast as you can in the beginning, learn as much as you can and recover as quickly as possible.
