 What I absolutely love about being an engineer is that any product I need I can just make you see I'm a swimmer and as a professional swimmer if there's one thing you need to monitor during your training That's your heart rate Actually, our professional trainings are divided into three target zones that are dependent on the heart rate of the swimmer And each one would lead you to a different result from the workout So that would be either fat burning or improving your general fitness or Maximizing your performance and working on building the muscles. So a professional athlete needs a combination of all three During his training in order to work on the entire aspects of his body and to maximize his workout But guess what? There are no ways today for professional swimmers to monitor their heart rate while they're swimming So when I was in the swimming team what we did is manually count our pulse after each race So it took us 60 seconds to get a value that we needed instantaneously and continuously during our training and Really even when you do get that value all you can do with it is think oh My heart rate is 120 now. It should have been 180. Well next time I'll go faster So being a bit of a quantified self-freak I looked for devices that would help me do the job But all I could find was either the watch that is coupled with a sensor belt or a finger clip or an ear clip But really when I swim I only want to wear my swimming suit my swimming cap and my goggles And do not want to add anything that creates drag in the water So in my last year of engineering I took part in the stars of science competition Which is kind of like the Arab version of the American inventor and I won the third place for this The first swimming goggles that can monitor the swimmer's heart rate in real time during his practice So let let me explain how they work, so I'm just gonna turn them on Okay, so there's the sensor on The on one side of the goggles that measures the heart rate from the temporal artery that runs next to the eye And there's the batteries that are then on the other side and in between There's a color-coded system that tells the swimmer where he is according to his target zone So since it was very difficult to get a pool on stage. I'm gonna show you a video of how it works instead Okay, so how it works So the swimmer enters his age and his target heart rate through the buttons that are on the casing And then there's a circuit board that's in this waterproof casing that compares the value Between the target heart rate and the measure heart rate and then the light goes red if the swimmer should slow down It goes green if he's on target and it goes yellow if you should go faster So really it's a very intuitive color code system like the traffic lights But it's the first time that the swimmer is able to track his heart rate in the water and to monitor his training so Now I'm working on transforming this alien-like prototype into this so This is all I do. I only work on this It's a monitor that you can clip on any type of goggles So the swimmer does not have to give up his favorite pair of goggles and the next target is to get to this Something that is so small and that can not only measure your heart rate But it can measure any kinds of information you as a professional or a recreational swimmer would want to know such as your calories the speed the number of laps the number of strokes so anything you could imagine and I Mean the whole point of this is to get to be able to give the swimmer a self-tracking experience that is so non-invasive and so Unconscious to be able to get him to have a complete assessment of his workout So this is a prototype that I engineered based on a need I have as a swimmer and very soon I hope it's gonna be a product that will help but the millions of other swimmers in the world become quantified self-freaks like myself Thank you
